GU337 - Details

• The SAP error message GU337, which states "You do not have authorization to delete this report," typically indicates that the user attempting to delete a report does not have the necessary permissions assigned to their user profile. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate roles can perform certain actions, such as deleting reports.
  
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user lacks the necessary authorization objects that allow them to delete reports.
  Role Configuration: The user's assigned roles may not include the permissions required for report deletion.
  Report Ownership: The report may be owned by another user or group, and the current user does not have the rights to delete it.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific permissions are missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
