  The SAP error message T100_MDG_BS_DRAD008 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete document links of a specific type for a particular document in the Master Data Governance (MDG) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that their role does not permit.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to delete document links. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient permissions assigned to the user.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have specific restrictions that prevent deletion unless certain conditions are met or specific authorizations are granted.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured in a way that restricts deletion of document links based on business rules or workflows.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the authorization objects related to document link deletion (e.g., MDG_BS_DRA or similar).

  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the deletion of document links again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
