• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR_CUST072 - No authorization to user &1 for ILM store customizing ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STOR_CUST072 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access or modify the ILM (Information Lifecycle Management) store customizing settings. This typically occurs when a user attempts to perform actions related to ILM stores without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations assigned to the user for ILM store customizing. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Changes in the authorization concept or roles that have not been updated for the user.
  The user is trying to access ILM customizing transactions or functions that require specific authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include authorizations for ILM store customizing. The relevant authorization objects may include:
  
  S_ILM_STORE - for ILM store access.
  S_TCODE - for transaction code access.
  
  
  If the user is missing the required roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles if Necessary:
  
  If the roles are present but do not include the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles in transaction PFCG to add the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
