  The SAP error message STC005 ("No authority to change task list &1") typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a task list in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations. This error is related to the authorization checks that SAP performs to ensure that users have the appropriate permissions to perform certain actions.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects to change the task list.

  Solution:
