This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that their current authorization profile does not permit.

  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to delete imports.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This can provide insight into what specific permission is lacking.

  Review Configuration Settings:
