• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/FCM026 - Tile '&1' cannot be removed because it is an original ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/FCM026 Tile '&1' cannot be removed because it is an original typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori Launchpad when a user attempts to remove a tile that is considered an "original" tile. Original tiles are those that are part of the standard Fiori applications and cannot be deleted or removed by users.
  Cause:
  
  Original Tile: The tile you are trying to remove is an original tile that comes with the standard Fiori application. These tiles are protected to ensure that the core functionality of the application remains intact.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to modify or remove tiles, especially if they are part of a standard configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Tile Type: Verify if the tile is indeed an original tile. You can do this by checking the tile's properties in the Fiori Launchpad designer or configuration.
  Create a Custom Tile: If you need to modify the functionality or appearance of the original tile, consider creating a custom tile that points to the same application or functionality. This way, you can manage it without affecting the original tile.
  Use Personalization: Instead of removing the tile, you can hide it using personalization options. Users can personalize their launchpad by hiding tiles they do not want to see.
  Role Management: If you are an administrator, check the roles and authorizations assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions to manage tiles.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP Fiori documentation for more details on managing tiles and the implications of modifying original tiles.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Fiori Launchpad Designer: This tool allows administrators to manage tiles, groups, and catalogs in the Fiori Launchpad.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or provide additional guidance on managing tiles.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on how to personalize their Fiori Launchpad experience, including how to hide or rearrange tiles without attempting to remove original tiles.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and manage your Fiori Launchpad tiles effectively.
