• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CCSEC015 - You are not authorized to delete the access logs ?

  The SAP error message CCSEC015 indicates that a user is not authorized to delete access logs. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's security and authorization management, particularly when dealing with access logs related to the SAP system's security auditing features.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user attempting to delete the access logs does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile. In SAP, access to certain functions, including the deletion of logs, is controlled by authorization objects. If the user lacks the appropriate permissions, the system will prevent them from performing the action and display this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve the CCSEC015 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for managing access logs.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Authorizations:
  
  The authorization object that typically controls access to delete logs is S_LOG_COM. Ensure that the user has the appropriate values for this authorization object.
  If the user needs to delete access logs, they should have the following authorizations:
  
  Activity: 02 (Delete)
  Object: Access logs
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization. They can review and adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to delete the access logs again.
