• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XM084 - No authorization to delete job &2 ?

  The SAP error message XM084 ("No authorization to delete job &2") typically occurs when a user attempts to delete a background job in SAP but does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This error is related to the authorization checks that SAP performs to ensure that users can only perform actions they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary authorization object that allows them to delete background jobs.
  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 Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization object for managing background jobs is S_BTCH_ADM. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for this object.
  The specific field to check is the ACTVT (Activity) field, which should include the value for deletion (usually '03' for delete).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or profiles. This can be done by:
  
  Using transaction PFCG to adjust the roles assigned to the user.
  Adding the necessary authorization objects to the user's role.
  
  
  
  
  
  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 help you assess and grant the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to delete the job again to see if the issue is resolved.
