  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP Basis or Security team to review and adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to delete the scenario again.
