• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_DAS_SB002 - You are not authorized to change the data ?

  The SAP error message ILM_DAS_SB002, which states "You are not authorized to change the data," typically occurs in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) when a user attempts to modify data that they do not have the necessary authorizations to change. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to delete or archive data that is protected under ILM policies.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to perform the action on the data.
  ILM Policy Restrictions: The data may be subject to ILM policies that restrict changes to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
  Data Locking: The data might be locked due to ongoing processes or other restrictions in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the action they are attempting.
  Use transaction code SU53 to check for authorization failures after the error occurs. This will show which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  Review ILM Policies:
  
  Check the ILM policies that are applied to the data in question. Ensure that the data is not locked or restricted by these policies.
  If necessary, consult with the ILM administrator to understand the implications of the policies and whether exceptions can be made.
  
  
  
  Consult with System Administrator:
  
  If the user believes they should have access, they should contact their system administrator or security team to review and adjust their authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Data Locking:
  
  Investigate if the data is locked due to other processes. If so, wait for those processes to complete or consult with the relevant team to unlock the data.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the ILM processes and understand the implications of data changes under ILM policies.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), SU53 (Authorization Check), and ILM related transactions for managing ILM policies.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to ILM and authorization errors.
  ILM Documentation: Review SAP documentation on Information Lifecycle Management for a better understanding of how data is managed and the implications of ILM policies.
