• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ISSR_STORE_LIST008 - You are not authorized to delete lists of list type &1 ?

  The SAP error message ISSR_STORE_LIST008 indicates that a user is attempting to delete a list of a specific type (denoted by &1 in the message) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can perform certain actions, such as deleting lists.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete lists of the specified type. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific list type they are trying to delete.
  List Type Restrictions: Certain list types may have additional restrictions or may be protected from deletion based on business rules or configurations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for deleting lists of the specified type.
  If the user is missing the required role, you may need to assign it to them.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user has the correct role but still cannot delete the list, you may need to modify the authorization objects within that role to include the necessary permissions.
  This may involve working with your SAP security team or administrator to adjust the roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding the specific list type and its associated authorizations to ensure compliance with business rules.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the deletion action again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
