  The SAP error message CMM_TRM_DEND057 indicates that a user is attempting to delete a snapshot definition but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Change Management or Transport Management systems, where snapshot definitions are used to manage and track changes.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user trying to delete the snapshot definition. In SAP, authorization checks are performed to ensure that users have the necessary permissions to execute specific actions, such as deleting objects.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  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 snapshot definitions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. The relevant authorization objects may include:
  
  S_CTS_ADMI (for transport management)
  S_CTS_SNAP (for snapshot management)
  
  
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary activity (e.g., delete) for the snapshot definition.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify the required authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to delete the snapshot definition again.
