  The SAP error message ILM_STOR_MISC037 indicates that there is an issue with the authorization of the ICF (Internet Communication Framework) service user in relation to a specific authorization object. This error typically arises in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) when the system is trying to access a service that requires certain authorizations that are not present for the user.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The ICF service user (represented by &1 in the error message) does not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified authorization object (represented by &2).
  This can happen if the user profile is not correctly configured or if the necessary roles/authorizations have not been assigned to the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the User and Authorization Object:
  
  Check the user ID (&1) mentioned in the error message.

  Go to the "Roles" tab and check the roles assigned to the user.
