• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SEHS/DG_DG823 - No authorization to delete data for object &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SEHS/DG_DG823 No authorization to delete data for object &1 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to delete data for a specific object in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of data governance or data management processes, particularly when dealing with sensitive or critical data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the delete operation lacks the required authorization roles or permissions associated with the specific object (indicated by &1).
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for deletion actions.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: Certain objects may have specific restrictions or policies that prevent deletion unless certain conditions are met.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, a security administrator should modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations for the deletion of the specific object.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as S_DATA, S_TABU_DIS, or any other object related to the specific data governance process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or guidelines related to the specific module or functionality being used to understand the required authorizations for deletion.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations are applied.
  Attempt the delete operation again to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Audit and Compliance:
  
  If the deletion is restricted due to compliance or audit requirements, consult with the relevant stakeholders to understand the policies in place and whether exceptions can be made.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
