• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_ARC_DESTRUCTION014 - No authorization for discarding destruction worklists of user &1 ?

  The SAP error message S_ARC_DESTRUCTION014 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to discard destruction worklists associated with a specific user. This error typically arises in the context of data archiving and destruction processes within SAP systems, particularly when dealing with sensitive data management.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to insufficient authorization for the user attempting to discard the destruction worklists. This can happen if:
  
  The user lacks the required roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  The authorization object related to the destruction worklists is not properly assigned to the user.
  The user is trying to perform an action that is restricted by the system's security settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to check the user's profile.
  Look for the authorization object S_ARC_DESTRUCTION which is related to archiving and destruction activities.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorizations, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary permissions for discarding destruction worklists.
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the correct roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Object:
  
  Ensure that the authorization object S_ARC_DESTRUCTION is configured correctly. This object typically includes fields such as:
  
  Activity (e.g., 01 for create, 02 for change, 03 for display, etc.)
  User ID (to specify which user’s worklists can be discarded)
  
  
  Make sure that the user has the necessary activity permissions for the specific user ID in question.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Attempt to discard the destruction worklists again to see if the issue is resolved.
