Not Authorized To Run Process Type


If you get the following messaging stating:

You are not authorized to run process type {Process Type} and process name {Process Name}. (65,8)

It means that your user profile does not have a permission list that has access to the process group for the relevant process definition.

For example, I received this message when attempting to run the dynamic role publish process DYNROLE_PUBL. If you open this process through:

not-authorized-to-run-process-type-error.png

PeopleTools > Process Scheduler > Processes

Then look in the process groups tab, you will find it is only associated with the INALL process group:

dynrole-publ-process-group-security.png

None of the permission lists that I belonged to had access to this group.

Here's a bit of SQL to check this quickly:

select
    OC.OPRID,
    OC.OPRCLASS,
    AP.PRCSGRP
from 
    PSOPRCLS OC inner join PSAUTHPRCS AP
    on OC.OPRCLASS = AP.CLASSID
where
    OC.OPRID = 'OPRID'
    and AP.PRCSGRP = 'PRCSGRP'
;
Replace OPRID with the appropriate operator ID (e.g. PS) and PRCSGRP with the appropriate process group (e.g. INALL).

The solution is to either add a permission list with access to this process group to your user profile OR to add the process group to a permission list you already have access to through the permission list set up pages.
