  The SAP error message SCRL634, which states "Not authorized to execute the background report," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute a specific background job or report in the SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to run a report in the background or when a scheduled job is being executed.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that permit them to execute the background report.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or report.
  Job Scheduling: If the error occurs during job scheduling, it may be due to the user who scheduled the job not having the required permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify what is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) to ensure they have the necessary authorizations.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the context in which it occurred.
  
  
  
  Check Job Owner:

  Review Background Job Settings:
