• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/OSET031 - You are not authorized to delete object sets ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/OSET031: You are not authorized to delete object sets indicates that the user attempting to delete an object set does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can modify or delete certain objects.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that permits the deletion of object sets.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action.
  Object Set Ownership: The user may not be the owner of the object set, and the system may restrict deletion to the owner or users with specific roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations. This may involve adding a role that contains the necessary authorization objects for deleting object sets.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for deleting object sets may include S_PLMB_OM or similar. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions associated with these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding object set management and the associated authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, test the deletion action again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
