  The SAP error message /GC1/MSG037 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete a specific object, which is identified by the placeholders &1 and &2. This error typically arises in the context of SAP applications where user permissions are strictly enforced.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to perform the delete operation does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile.
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object related to the deletion of the object type (e.g., a document, record, or master data) is not included in the user's role.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that grant the necessary permissions for deletion.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Ensure that the authorization object related to the deletion of the specific object type is included.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt the delete operation again to verify that the issue is resolved.
