• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSJOB036 - User &1 is not allowed for scheduling, use user &2 instead ?

  The SAP error message RSJOB036 indicates that a user (User &1) is not authorized to schedule a background job, and it suggests using a different user (User &2) instead. This error typically arises due to authorization issues related to the user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to schedule the job does not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This could be due to missing roles or specific authorizations related to job scheduling.
  User Restrictions: The system may have restrictions in place that prevent certain users from scheduling jobs, either due to security policies or specific configurations.
  Profile Settings: The user profile may not be set up correctly to allow job scheduling.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check for missing authorizations.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions for job scheduling.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for scheduling background jobs. Common roles include SAP_BC_BC_JOB_ADMIN or similar roles that grant job scheduling permissions.
  
  
  
  Use the Suggested User:
  
  If the error message suggests using a different user (User &2), consider using that user to schedule the job if it has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the roles and authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the correct access rights.
  
  
  
  Review System Configuration:
  
  Check if there are any system-wide settings or configurations that restrict job scheduling for certain users.
