• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TN719 - No authorization to delete &1 on the application server ?

  The SAP error message TN719 "No authorization to delete &1 on the application server" typically indicates that a user is attempting to delete a file or object on the application server for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to delete a file from the application server's file system or when attempting to delete a specific object in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to perform the delete operation. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
