• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /RPM/MAP_API2SERV007 - Not authorized for activity 'Delete' ?

  The SAP error message /RPM/MAP_API2SERV007 Not authorized for activity 'Delete' typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform the delete operation in the context of the application or module you are working with, likely related to SAP's Resource and Portfolio Management (RPM) or a similar module.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user role assigned to the user does not include the necessary permissions to perform delete operations.
  Role Configuration: The roles and authorizations may not be properly configured in the SAP system.
  Object-Specific Authorization: The user may have general delete permissions but lacks specific permissions for the object type they are trying to delete.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for delete operations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Common authorization objects related to delete operations include S_TCODE, S_RPM, or other application-specific objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects to the role that the user is assigned to, ensuring that the delete activity is included.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Attempt the delete operation again to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for details on authorization objects and roles specific to the module you are working with.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on authorization errors.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01, PFCG, and SU53 for managing users and roles.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the error message.
