• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR707 - No authorization to change Customizing ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STOR707 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change the Customizing settings related to Information Lifecycle Management (ILM). This typically occurs when a user attempts to modify ILM-related configurations without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, authorization checks are performed to ensure that users can only perform actions for which they have been granted permission. If a user tries to access or modify ILM Customizing settings without the required authorizations, the system will generate this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve the ILM_STOR707 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for ILM Customizing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects for ILM, such as S_TCODE (Transaction Code) and any specific ILM-related authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to perform the action that previously resulted in the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
