Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WFD_BL_MSG072 - No authorization to read assignment key mapping persistence. ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WFD_BL_MSG072 No authorization to read assignment key mapping persistence.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user or process tries to access or read the assignment key mapping persistence data in the SAP Workflow system but lacks the necessary authorizations. The "assignment key mapping persistence" refers to stored mappings that link workflow tasks or agents to specific assignment keys, which are used in dynamic agent determination.
  In other words, the user or workflow runtime environment does not have the required authorization objects or permissions to read the assignment key mapping data, which is essential for workflow processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Identify the user or technical user (e.g., workflow runtime user) that is triggering the error.
  Verify that this user has the necessary authorizations to read assignment key mappings.
  
  
  
  Relevant Authorization Objects:
  
  The key authorization object involved is usually:
  
  S_WF_BEP (Workflow: Business Event Processing)
  S_WF_OBJ (Workflow: Object)
  S_WF_TSK (Workflow: Task)
  S_WF_MAP (Workflow: Mapping)
  
  
  Specifically, S_WF_MAP controls access to assignment key mappings.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to assign or update roles for the user.
  Ensure the role includes the authorization object S_WF_MAP with the appropriate activity (usually activity 03 = Display/Read).
  If the user is a workflow runtime user (e.g., SAP_WFRT), check the roles assigned to this user.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow Runtime User:
  
  The workflow runtime user (often SAP_WFRT) must have sufficient authorizations.
  If the error occurs during workflow execution, ensure that the workflow runtime user has the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating authorizations, test the workflow or the action that caused the error to confirm the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  PFCG – Role maintenance (to assign authorizations)
  SWU3 – Workflow customizing and checks
  SU53 – Display authorization check failures (useful to analyze authorization errors)
  ST01 – Trace authorization checks (for detailed analysis)
  
  
  
  Notes and Documentation:
  
  SAP Notes related to workflow authorization issues may provide additional insights.
  Check SAP Help Portal for Workflow authorization concepts.
  
  
  
  General Advice:
  
  Always perform authorization changes in a development or test system first.
  Avoid giving overly broad authorizations; restrict to minimum necessary.
  If unsure, consult your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Missing authorization to read assignment key mapping persistence in SAP Workflow.
  
  
  Solution
  Grant the user (or workflow runtime user) the required authorization object S_WF_MAP with read access.
  
  
  Check Tools
  Use SU53 after error, PFCG to assign roles, and SWU3 for workflow checks.
