  Cause:
  The error occurs when:

  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Ensuring that the necessary fields (like activity type for deletion) are correctly set.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
