SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW: ErrorUser has no authorization to start workflow

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am using SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW to trigger workflow from my program.

I am getting following message line Error:User has no authorization to start workflow.

please guide how to/where to change user and also where to verify which id has rights to start workflow.

The workflow is successfully getting executed from SWDD.

Thanks.

Hi,

Go to the basic data of the workflow and set agent assignment as general task.

SWDD-Basic data-Goto-agent assignment for the task-attributes-set general task.

The user for which the FM is not working. Login with that user and try to trigger workflow using SWUS Tcode.

The user will have authorization issue. Do a SU53 dump and send to security team for authorization.

Hello,

Check in SU53 as the user with the problem to see what (if any) authorizations are missing.

Also, the workflow template does indeed have to be made General Task.

HI,

The problem is , the user who is executing the program is not having the right authorization to start the workflow. The sap_wapi_start_workflow will check for the user SY-UNAME is having the right authorization or not .

It is not the problem with Agent assignement of the workflow tempalte. Consult the basis team , and ask them to provide the right credentials and authorizations. and ROles to start the workflow.
