• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UAGENTABSEL119 - No authorization to delete variant &1, &2 ?

  The SAP error message UAGENTABSEL119 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete a specific variant in the SAP system. Variants in SAP are used to store user-specific settings for reports and transactions, and the ability to delete them is controlled by authorization objects.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to delete a variant but lacks the required authorization. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the necessary permissions assigned to their user profile.
  Authorization Object: The relevant authorization object (usually related to variant management) is not included in the user's role.
  Role Assignment: The user's role may not be correctly assigned or may not include the necessary permissions for variant deletion.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Check if the roles include the necessary authorizations for variant management.
  Look for authorization objects such as S_PROGRAM (for program execution) and S_USER_AUTH (for user authorizations) that may be relevant.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the roles to include the required permissions. This typically involves adding the relevant authorization objects and values.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to delete the variant again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control variant management. Common objects include:
  
  S_PROGRAM: Controls access to programs and variants.
  S_USER_AUTH: Controls user authorizations.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  SE93: Transaction codes for variants.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization management and variant handling.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to allow the user to delete the variant successfully.
