• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/CFG_PROV001 - Missing authorization to delete query ?

  The SAP error message /BCV/CFG_PROV001 Missing authorization to delete query typically indicates that a user is attempting to delete a query in the SAP system but does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete queries. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Query Ownership: The user may not be the owner of the query they are trying to delete, and the system restricts deletion to the owner or users with specific permissions.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations in the system that restrict certain actions based on user roles or organizational policies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the missing authorizations.
  Review the authorization objects related to query management, such as S_QUERY, S_BW_QUERY, or any custom authorization objects that may be in use.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can add the required authorizations to the user’s role using transaction code PFCG.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to delete queries, which may include the ability to manage queries in the relevant InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Query Ownership:
  
  Verify if the user is the owner of the query. If not, either the owner should delete the query or the user should be granted the necessary permissions to delete queries owned by others.
  
  
  
  Review System Configuration:
  
  Check if there are any specific configurations or restrictions in place that might prevent the deletion of queries. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or BW team.
