SBPlus Update not allowed. Logged-in user does not have authority to take this action for this organization

[BharathVenkatesan]

As Scoutmaster (12958408) , I used to be able to “approve and finish” Merit badges once MBC had marked them as complete. Today, I seem to be hitting the error that I dont have authority to take this action. I checked permission manager and everything is in order. Any one else run into this ?

Thanks

@BharathVenkatesan - what is the status of the unit in my.scouting.org ? Is the unit renewal completed.

[BharathVenkatesan]

Thanks @Stephen_Hornak Yes completed. Unit term says Jan 1, 2026 - Dec 31, 2026.

@BharathVenkatesan- did you select the SM role in the upper right in scoutbook plus?

[DonovanMcNeil]

@BharathVenkatesan this sounds familiar - what is the Scout and MB in question

[BharathVenkatesan]

Yes. @Stephen_Hornak SM is my default role in settings.

Thanks @DonovanMcNeil . . MB is Entrepreneurship.

I had “leader approved” few other MBs for various other scouts on Dec 30th. So this is a very recent breakage.

@BharathVenkatesan do you have a minute for a screenshare so I can see this?

[BharathVenkatesan]

Yes. Thank you very much for your help.
