• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ADM_MSG080 - You are not authorized to delete RFC destination &1 ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ADM_MSG080 indicates that a user is attempting to delete an RFC (Remote Function Call) destination but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user trying to delete the RFC destination. In SAP, actions such as creating, modifying, or deleting RFC destinations require specific authorizations that are typically defined in user roles.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and see if they include the necessary authorizations for managing RFC destinations.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Authorizations:
  
  The required authorization object for managing RFC destinations is typically S_RFC. Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions for this object.
  You may need to work with your SAP security team to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After updating the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user attempt to delete the RFC destination again to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Audit:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles and authorizations for future reference and compliance purposes.
