  SAP Error Message: WZ066
  Message Text:
  
  You do not have authorization to delete job &1 &2
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a user attempts to delete a background job in SAP but lacks the necessary authorization to perform this action. Specifically, the user does not have the required authorization object or the correct values within that object to delete the specified job.
  
  Explanation
  
  Background jobs in SAP are managed via transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring).
  Deleting a job requires specific authorizations.
  The authorization object typically involved is S_BTCH_JOB.
  The user must have the Delete activity (activity 02) for the job name or job class they are trying to delete.
  If the user tries to delete a job without this authorization, SAP throws the WZ066 error.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Look for missing authorizations related to S_BTCH_JOB.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Authorization:
  
  The user needs authorization for the object S_BTCH_JOB with:
  
  Activity = 02 (Delete)
  Job Name or Job Class matching the job(s) they want to delete.
  
  
  This is usually done by the SAP Security team or Basis administrator.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  Add or adjust the role(s) assigned to the user to include the necessary authorization.
  Transport the updated role to the relevant system.
  
  
  
  Verify and Test:
  
  After authorization changes, have the user try deleting the job again.
  Confirm that the error no longer appears.
