Authorization problems to delete a variant

[Former Member]

Hello,

I would like to delete some variants created by another user and I can not because DB278 "No authorization to change variant " appears. When I execute SU53 I can not see any message saying what authorization is left.

How can I delete a variant created by another user?

You can do this using SE38.

This is already explained in a thread:

Hope that helps.

Hello Ibon,

Have you check the thread i gave you in detail, it says.

If a user has been deleted, and there are report variants protected against changes by other users, You can use report RSVARENT to reset this protection flag, before you can maintain the variant. But be careful, the Select-Options do not require any input, and there is no Authority check, so You could accidently reset the protection flags of all.

check the same in table VARID for protected flag value

u can delete the variants based on the uname of this table

Siddhesh
