  The SAP error message CMMFDOR_ORD_BRACKET016 indicates that a user is attempting to delete archived data but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This error typically arises in the context of managing archived data in SAP systems, particularly in modules related to document management or data archiving.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization for the user role attempting to delete the archived data. In SAP, access to certain functions, especially those that can modify or delete data, is controlled through authorization objects. If the user does not have the appropriate permissions assigned, the system will prevent them from executing the delete operation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for deleting archived data.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to archiving include:
  
  S_ARCHIVE: This object controls access to archiving functions.
  S_DATASET: This object controls access to file operations, which may be relevant depending on how the archiving is set up.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and back into the system, then attempt the delete operation again to verify that the issue is resolved.
