• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WK022 - Only the administrator can delete other users' configurations ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WK022 - Only the administrator can delete other users' configurations
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to delete or modify workflow configurations (such as workflow templates, tasks, or rules) that belong to another user. In SAP Workflow, certain configurations are user-specific, and only the owner or an administrator with the appropriate authorization can delete or change these configurations.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Workflow configurations (like user-specific variants, personal workflow settings, or user-specific workflow templates) are protected to prevent unauthorized changes.
  If a user attempts to delete or modify configurations created by another user, SAP restricts this action to maintain data integrity and security.
  Only users with administrative privileges (typically those with workflow administrator roles) can perform such operations on other users' configurations.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorization:
  
  Verify if the user has the necessary authorization to delete or modify other users' workflow configurations.
  The user needs to have workflow administrator roles, such as:
  SAP_WAPI_ADMIN (Workflow Administrator)
  Or other custom roles with relevant
