  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to delete the reminder does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.

  System Configuration: There may be system-wide settings or configurations that restrict certain actions based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.

  Add the necessary authorization objects related to reminder deletion (e.g., S_TCODE for transaction codes, S_USER_AUTH for user authorizations).
  Ensure that the role is properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to delete the reminder again.
