• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCH_MDL006 - No Authorization to perform operation on this object ?

  The SAP error message SCH_MDL006 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific operation on an object. This error typically arises in the context of scheduling or managing jobs, particularly in the SAP Solution Manager or other SAP systems where job scheduling is involved.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user trying to perform the operation. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have the required roles assigned that grant access to the specific transaction or object.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the operation may not be properly configured or may have restrictions that prevent the user from executing the action.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not include the necessary permissions for the operation being attempted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SCH_MDL006 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the operation.
  If roles are missing, you may need to assign the correct roles to the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct roles but still encounters the error, check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH) to ensure that they are configured correctly.
  You may need to adjust the values in the authorization objects to allow the user to perform the operation.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorization objects, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance. They can help identify and rectify the authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the operation again to verify that the issue is resolved.
