• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHFND_AUTH_CHECK005 - You are not authorized to delete this object ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_AUTH_CHECK005 indicates that a user is attempting to delete an object but does not have the necessary authorization to perform that action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only perform actions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile to delete the specific object.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for deletion.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: Certain objects may have specific restrictions that require additional authorizations beyond standard deletion rights.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for deletion.
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue. Common authorization objects related to deletion include S_DATA, S_TABU_DIS, and others depending on the object type.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate activity (e.g., 02 for delete) for the relevant object.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the deletion action again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
