• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CAWUSL119 - No authorization to delete variant &1, &2 ?

  The SAP error message CAWUSL119 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete a specific variant in the system. Variants in SAP are used to store user-specific settings for reports and transactions, and the ability to delete them is controlled by authorization objects.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to delete a variant but lacks the required authorization. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to delete variants.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization object related to variant management (e.g., S_PROGRAM, S_USER_AUTH) may not be properly configured for the user.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated with the latest roles or authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify their roles to include the required permissions.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects for variant management.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects, such as S_PROGRAM (for program execution) and S_USER_AUTH (for user authorizations), to ensure that the user has the correct permissions to delete variants.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
