• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CONV175 - No authorization to release job &1. Release cancelled. ?

  The SAP error message CONV175 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to release a specific job in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to release a background job that they do not have permission to manage.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. The specific authorization object that is usually involved in this scenario is S_BTCH_JOB. This object controls the permissions related to background job management, including the ability to release jobs.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorizations for background job management.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to modify the existing role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. Specifically, ensure that the role has the following:
  
  S_BTCH_JOB with the appropriate activity (e.g., 01 for "Create", 02 for "Change", 03 for "Display", and 06 for "Release").
  
  
  
  
  
  Assign the Role:
  
  After modifying or creating the role, assign it to the user. This can be done in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to release the job again.
