  Review Workflow Configuration:
  
  Check the workflow configuration in transaction SWDD (Workflow Builder) to ensure that the task is not restricted to certain users or roles.
  Verify that the workflow is active and correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to address the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
