  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ST600 - User & has no authorization for deletion ?

    The SAP error message ST600 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a deletion operation. This error typically occurs in the context of transaction codes related to data management, such as deleting entries in tables or records in various modules.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object that permits deletion actions. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
    2. Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for deletion, or the roles may be incorrectly configured.
    3. Object-Specific Restrictions: Certain objects may have specific restrictions that prevent deletion, even if the user has general deletion rights.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
      • Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to review the user’s roles and authorizations.
    2. Modify User Roles:

      • If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG. Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary authorization objects for deletion.
      • Common authorization objects related to deletion include S_DATASET, S_TABU_DIS, and others depending on the specific context of the deletion.
    3. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were attempting to perform.
    4. Testing:

      • After adjustments are made, test the deletion operation again to ensure that the issue is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control deletion rights in SAP. This can vary based on the module (e.g., MM, SD, FI).
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding user roles and authorizations to understand best practices for managing user permissions.
    • Audit Logs: If necessary, check audit logs to see if there are any other related issues or patterns that could indicate broader authorization problems.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the ST600 error message.
