• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/ROLES033 - You are not authorized to delete role &1 ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/ROLES033 indicates that a user is attempting to delete a role but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's role management, particularly in the SAP Fiori or SAP S/4HANA environments.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorizations to delete roles. This could be due to missing authorization objects or insufficient role assignments.
  Role Ownership: The role may be owned by another user or may be locked for deletion due to system settings or configurations.
  System Configuration: Certain system settings may restrict the deletion of roles, especially if they are assigned to users or are part of a composite role.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's authorization profile to ensure they have the necessary permissions to delete roles. The relevant authorization objects may include S_USER_AUTH, S_USER_PRO, and S_USER_AGR.
  If you have access, you can use transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check and identify what is missing.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the user has been assigned a role that includes the necessary permissions to manage roles. This may involve assigning a role with administrative privileges, such as SAP_ALL (for testing purposes only) or a specific role that includes role management capabilities.
  
  
  
  Role Ownership:
  
  Verify if the role is owned by another user. If so, you may need to contact the role owner or a system administrator to perform the deletion.
  
  
  
  System Settings:
  
  Check if there are any system settings or configurations that prevent the deletion of roles. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis or security team.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction PFCG:
  
  Navigate to transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) and check the status of the role you are trying to delete. Ensure that it is not assigned to any users or is not part of a composite role.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to role management and authorizations for any specific guidelines or updates that may apply to your version of SAP.
