• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_FIELD_AUTH106 - You are not authorized to delete items ?

  The SAP error message CRM_FIELD_AUTH106, which states "You are not authorized to delete items," typically occurs when a user attempts to delete an item in the SAP CRM system but lacks the necessary authorization to perform that action. This is a common issue related to user roles and permissions within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete items in the CRM application. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for deletion actions in the specific CRM area (e.g., sales orders, service requests).
  Object-Specific Restrictions: Certain objects may have specific restrictions that prevent deletion based on business rules or configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for deletion.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects related to the deletion of items in the CRM system. Common authorization objects include CRM_ORDER, CRM_ORDERADM_H, etc.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate access should modify the user’s roles to include the required permissions.
  This may involve adding new roles or adjusting existing ones to ensure that the user has the correct authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the deletion action again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance with security policies.
