• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STC_TEST017 - Test task list &1 is hidden due to user settings ?

  The SAP error message STC_TEST017 indicates that a test task list is hidden due to user settings. This typically occurs when a user has configured their settings in such a way that certain task lists are not visible to them. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  User-Specific Settings: The user has set preferences that hide certain task lists. This can happen if the user has customized their view or if the task list is not assigned to their user profile.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or execute the task list.
  Task List Configuration: The task list itself may be configured to be hidden for certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code STC01 (Manage Task Lists).
  Check if the task list is hidden in your user settings. You can reset your settings or adjust them to make the task list visible.
  You can also check the user-specific settings in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) to see if there are any restrictions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the task list. This can be done by checking the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).

  Task List Visibility:
