• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STC018 - No authority to display runs for task list &1 ?

  The SAP error message STC018 ("No authority to display runs for task list &1") typically occurs when a user attempts to access or display the execution runs of a task list in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to view the execution runs of the specified task list. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the required authorization object for the task list.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to view the task list runs.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the relevant transaction codes or task lists.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the STC018 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed.
  This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization object for task lists is typically S_BTCH_ADM (Batch Management: Administration).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for this object.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and 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 to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
