The placeholder &1 in the message typically represents the specific activity or authorization object that is missing.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to insufficient authorization for the user role that is trying to execute the ILM-related transaction or function. This can happen if:

  The authorization objects related to ILM activities are not properly configured or are missing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ILM_STOR_STAT101 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Missing Authorization:

  Review User Roles:

  Adjust Authorizations:

  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
