GS321 - Details

• The SAP error message GS321, which states "You do not have authorization to delete variables," typically occurs when a user attempts to delete a variable in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action.
  
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete variables. This is often related to the authorization roles assigned to the user in the SAP system.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for managing variables, particularly for deletion.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the variable or the InfoObject it is associated with, preventing deletion.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
