  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for deletion in the specified application.

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
