Cause
In customer instance the settings called "Additional access control based on DRTM-enabled countries or regions" in Admin Center > Company System and Logo Settings > Data Retention Management is enabled .
If this setting is enabled and approver/decline button is not functional than the chances are the relevant Role-Based Permission is not assigned to user.
Resolution
In your instance kindly verify if "Additional access control based on DRTM-enabled countries or regions" in Admin Center > Company System and Logo Settings > Data Retention Management is enabled , If yes then that requires to assign the relevant permission in Role-Based Permission to approvers. For details please refer to Help Guide.
As you have enabled access control to purge reports of DRTM purge requests. When the target data of a DRTM purge request is country/region-specific, the purge reports are only available to approvers who have the permission Additional access control based on DRTM-enabled countries or regions and are assigned with corresponding countries/regions in Role-Based Permission.
If customer do not need this additional access control, please just disable this feature from here Admin Center > Company System and Logo Settings > Data Retention Management ->Additional access control based on DRTM-enabled countries or regions"
