  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/UI_MESSAGES284 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to delete profile and layout sets in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This is a common issue related to user permissions and roles within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to delete the profile or layout set does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user role.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for managing profile and layout sets.
  Profile/Set Ownership: The user may not be the owner of the profile or layout set they are trying to delete, which can also restrict deletion rights.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific permission is lacking.

  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 the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
