This typically occurs in the context of SAP applications that utilize filters for data selection, such as SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or SAP Business Warehouse (BW).
  Cause:

  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to perform the delete operation on filters.
  Filter Ownership: The filter may be owned by another user, and the current user does not have permission to delete filters that they do not own.
  System Configuration: Certain system settings or configurations may restrict users from deleting filters.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions for deleting filters are included.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to filter management.
  
  
  
  Filter Ownership:
  
  Verify if the filter is owned by another user. If so, you may need to either request the owner to delete the filter or have an administrator perform the deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Security Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue through the above steps, consult with your SAP Basis or Security team. They can provide assistance in reviewing and adjusting user authorizations as needed.
