• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SUID01023 - Deletion of generated profile &1 not permitted ?

  The SAP error message SUID01023 indicates that the deletion of a generated profile (specified by &1) is not permitted. This typically occurs in the context of user management and authorization profiles within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  Profile in Use: The profile you are trying to delete is currently in use by one or more users or roles.
  System Restrictions: Certain profiles are protected by the system and cannot be deleted due to system settings or configurations.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the profile may not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  Profile Type: The profile may be a standard or generated profile that is not meant to be deleted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Profile Usage:
  
  Verify if the profile is assigned to any users or roles. You can do this by checking the user assignments in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  If the profile is in use, you will need to remove it from the users or roles before attempting to delete it.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete profiles. You may need to consult with your SAP security administrator to check your permissions.
  
  
  
  Profile Type Verification:
  
  Confirm whether the profile is a generated profile or a standard profile. If it is a standard profile, it may not be allowed to be deleted. In such cases, consider deactivating it instead of deleting.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code:
  
  If you are sure that the profile is not in use and you have the right authorizations, you can try using transaction PFCG to manage the roles and profiles more effectively.
