• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STC013 - No authority to change task lists ?

  The SAP error message STC013 ("No authority to change task lists") typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a task list in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various contexts, such as when working with background jobs, task scheduling, or transport management.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization for the user role or profile that is currently being used. The user does not have the required permissions to change or modify task lists in the SAP system.
  Solution:
  To resolve the STC013 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to review the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations. This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to task list management.

  S_TCODE (Transaction Codes)
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorizations)
  S_BTCH_JOB (Background Job Management)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes have been made to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to perform the action that previously resulted in the STC013 error.
