• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IWP210 - You are not authorized to restart a job ?

  The SAP error message IWP210, which states "You are not authorized to restart a job," typically occurs when a user attempts to restart a background job in SAP but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to restart background jobs. This is often related to the authorization objects S_BTCH_JOB or S_BTCH_ADM.
  Job Ownership: The job may be owned by another user, and the current user does not have permission to manage jobs owned by others.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to restart jobs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific permission is lacking.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles to include the required authorization objects. This typically involves adding the S_BTCH_JOB and/or S_BTCH_ADM authorization objects with the appropriate activity (like 02 for restart).
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Job Ownership:
  
  If the job is owned by another user, you may need to ask that user to restart the job or request that your user ID be granted the necessary permissions to manage jobs owned by others.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding job management and authorizations to ensure compliance with your organization’s policies.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM37: To view and manage background jobs.
  SU01: To manage user accounts and roles.
  SU53: To analyze authorization failures.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  S_BTCH_JOB: This object controls access to background job management.
  S_BTCH_ADM: This object provides administrative access to background jobs.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance on authorization management.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the IWP210 error and gain the necessary permissions to restart background jobs in SAP.
