• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR815 - You are not authorized to delete &1 ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STOR815, which states "You are not authorized to delete &1," typically occurs in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) when a user attempts to delete an ILM object (such as a data record or an archive) without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile to perform the delete operation on the specified ILM object. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for deletion.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the ILM objects that prevent deletion based on business rules or compliance requirements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ILM_STOR815 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for ILM operations, particularly for deletion.
  
  
  
  Add Required Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to add the relevant authorization objects to the user's role. Common authorization objects related to ILM include:
  
  S_DATASET: Authorizations for file access.
  S_ARCHIVE: Authorizations for archiving and ILM operations.
  S_USER_AUTH: General user authorizations.
  
  
  
  
  
  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 to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Check ILM Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the ILM configuration allows for the deletion of the specific object type you are trying to delete. There may be settings that restrict deletion based on retention policies.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Compliance:
  
  Review any documentation related to ILM policies in your organization to ensure compliance with data retention and deletion policies.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on authorization issues related to ILM.
  SAP Help Portal: Refer to the SAP Help Portal for detailed documentation on ILM and authorization management.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as S_USER_AUTH, SU01, and PFCG for managing user authorizations and roles.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the ILM_STOR815 error.
