  The SAP error message MDC_PROCESS_MSG059, which states "You have insufficient authorities for this kind of deletion," typically occurs when a user attempts to delete a record or object in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with master data, transactional data, or other objects within the SAP system.
  Cause:

  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include deletion permissions for the specific object type.
  Review Authorization Objects: Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_DATA, S_TCODE, etc.) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for deletion activities.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  Transaction Codes: If applicable, ensure that the user has access to the relevant transaction codes that allow for deletion.
  Testing: After adjustments are made, test the deletion process again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
