• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_CST035 - System user '&1' does not have enough authorizations (&2) ?

  The SAP error message SWF_CST035 indicates that a system user does not have sufficient authorizations to perform a specific action or access certain data within the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of workflow processing, where specific roles and permissions are required for users to execute tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user specified in the error message does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to perform the required action.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles or profiles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects for the action being attempted may not be included in the user's roles.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile of the system user mentioned in the error message.
  Review the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are required for the action being performed. This information can often be found in the documentation for the transaction or process being executed.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorizations were checked and failed.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user is missing roles, assign the appropriate roles that contain the necessary authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Ensure that the roles are properly configured and include all required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about which roles or authorizations are needed, consult with your SAP security team or administrator for guidance.
