Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCUS0060 - No authorization to delete variant &1 ?

  The SAP error message UCUS0060, which states "No authorization to delete variant &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to delete a variant (a saved set of parameters for a report or transaction) but does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to delete variants. This is often related to the authorization object S_PROGRAM or S_VARIANT.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to delete variants, which can be due to misconfiguration or missing roles.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the variant itself, such as it being locked or owned by another user.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations. This typically involves adding the S_PROGRAM and S_VARIANT authorization objects with the appropriate activity (e.g., 02 for delete).
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or BASIS team to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Variant Ownership:
  
  Ensure that the variant you are trying to delete is not locked or owned by another user. If it is owned by another user, you may need to contact that user or an administrator to delete it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more details on authorization objects and their configurations.
