  The SAP error message RMPS_DISPOSAL362 indicates that there is an authorization issue when trying to destroy (delete) a folder in the SAP system. This error typically arises when a user does not have the necessary permissions to perform the action on the specified folder.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user attempting to delete the folder. This could be due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object that allows them to delete folders in the specific application area.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for folder management.
  Folder Ownership: The user may not be the owner of the folder or may not have been granted the necessary permissions by the owner.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RMPS_DISPOSAL362 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check for missing authorizations. This will show you which authorization checks failed.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles to ensure they include the necessary permissions for folder deletion.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to folder management include:
  
  S_RFC (for remote function calls)
  S_USER_AUTH (for user authorizations)
  S_DATA (for data access)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Folder Ownership:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions if the folder is owned by another user. The owner can grant permissions to other users if needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
