correct that user &V2& is not authorized to delete this job.
If the user does have authorization to delete this job, his or her

and 'JOBACTION'. The first field should always contain '*'. The second
component should contain the operation code 'DELE' for the delete
authorization.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BT125 - No delete authorization for job & ?

  The SAP error message BT125 ("No delete authorization for job &") typically occurs when a user attempts to delete a background job for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This error is related to the authorization checks in SAP, specifically for background job management.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete background jobs. This is usually controlled by the authorization object S_BTCH_JOB.
  Job Ownership: The user may not be the owner of the job they are trying to delete. In many cases, only the user who created the job or users with specific roles can delete it.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not be configured correctly to include the necessary permissions for job deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations to ensure they include the necessary permissions for background job management.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, a security administrator should update the user's roles to include the necessary authorizations. This typically involves adding the S_BTCH_JOB authorization object with the appropriate activity (e.g., 03 for delete).
  
  
  
  Job Ownership:
  
  Verify if the user is the owner of the job. If not, either the owner should delete the job or the user should be granted additional permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
