• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_B2B018 - No authorization to delete synchronization &1 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_B2B018 No authorization to delete synchronization &1 typically indicates that the user attempting to perform a deletion operation does not have the necessary authorizations to do so. This error is related to the SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or SAP Process Integration (PI) systems, where synchronization objects are managed.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete the specified synchronization object.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include permissions for deletion operations in the relevant area of the SAP system.
  Object Locking: The synchronization object may be locked by another process or user, preventing deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure details. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for deleting synchronization objects.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as S_TCODE for transaction codes and any specific objects related to the synchronization process.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Object Status:
  
  Ensure that the synchronization object you are trying to delete is not locked or in use by another process. You may need to wait until the object is free or check for any ongoing processes that might be using it.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Support:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation for specific details on authorization objects related to the synchronization process.
  If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects that may be relevant include S_RFC, S_TCODE, and specific objects related to the B2B or synchronization processes.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check) for managing user roles and authorizations.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on authorization errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the authorization issue and successfully delete the synchronization object.
