  The SAP error message INM_INITIATIVE015 indicates that a user (denoted as &1) does not have the necessary authorization to delete a specific object (denoted as &2). This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only perform actions for which they have been granted permission.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object or role that allows them to delete the specified object.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the necessary permissions for deletion.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the object type that prevent deletion, regardless of the user's general permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check failure. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects for deletion.
  If the role does not include the required permissions, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you understand the required permissions and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the deletion action again.
