• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STC020 - No authority to reorganize task list runtime objects ?

  The SAP error message STC020 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to reorganize task list runtime objects. This typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a task that requires specific permissions related to the management of background jobs or task lists in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations for the user trying to perform the reorganization of task list runtime objects. This can happen if:
  
  The user does not have the required roles or profiles assigned.
  The user is missing specific authorization objects related to background processing or task list management.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the STC020 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific permissions are lacking.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include permissions for managing task lists and background jobs. Common roles that might be required include:
  
  SAP_ALL (for testing purposes only, not recommended for production)
  Specific roles related to background processing, such as SAP_BC_BMT_BC or similar roles depending on your organization's security model.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects that control access to task list management. Common authorization objects include:
  
  S_BTCH_ADM (Background Processing Administration)
  S_BTCH_JOB (Background Job Management)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to perform the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
