This error is related to the authorization checks that SAP performs to ensure that users have the appropriate permissions to modify or delete sensitive data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete change documents. This is often related to the authorization objects associated with financial transactions or document management.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  Change Document Settings: The system settings for change document management may restrict certain users from deleting change documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.

  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary permissions for the actions they need to perform.
