This error is common in SAP systems where data security and access control are strictly enforced.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that permits data deletion in the specific application area.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for delete operations.
  Data Protection Settings: Certain data may be protected from deletion due to business rules or settings in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary permissions.
