Could be both are applicable at once, given it’s SAS. But one thing was new to me for award travel in SAS economy class X inventory: it coming with SAS Fast Track for UA and A3 *Gs this month.
And this is even as none of the SAS hubs are listed as having Gold Track security on the Star Alliance website:

Maybe the free baggage allowance in SAS X is a factor somehow even intra-Scandinavia?

SAS Fast Track@CPH only works at CPH Express currently. Passengers just self-direct to what is open.
SAS Fast Track@ARN was slower than the regular line when we were there last week. Something to do with waiting for a bag check for one or two passengers ahead of some of us.

ARN gives Fast Track for *G on LH group flights, its seems LH pays for it to swedavia. *G on SK doesn't get it.

Last year, UA*G and A3*G on SK in Economy did not get SAS Fast Track at ARN. Last week, these *G on SK in economy did get Fast Track at ARN. And tomorrow or later this week, I’ll know if UA and A3 *G on SK in economy still do get Fast Track at ARN.

Last month and this month, as partner airline *G on SK, I’ve reliably been getting Fast Track security on SK flights in economy class — including when on partner airline-issued award tickets for SK flights — for trips out of ARN and CPH.
At least with ARN, it has appeared guaranteed for me as of late when using the SAS mobile boarding passes. And at CPH, it’s been rather reliable for me too, but it’s been a bit harder to tell at times.
Most of this has been as A3*G or non-European programs*G on the boarding passes.

Last week at an early morning flight, the CPH Fast Track has been closed, and the checkin agent were directing people to CPH Express. The CPH Express gate has admitted me (automatically) with no issues. In PLUS and EBD.

CPH Express is usually a pretty quick and pleasant experience , but yesterday . . . .
They don't do it as often as elsewhere, at least not in my experience, but they sometimes direct regular pax to the Express lane when the line there is short. This they did yesterday morning, amongst others sending over an extended family with a truly impressive amount of "hand" luggage, and zero security procedures sense. Once their bags were through, my bag and two belonging to the gent ahead of me were all sent for secondary. Random checks, we were told. However, before our bags could be inspected one of the family members announced that his watch had gone missing. I'll spare you the details, but the search took a very long time, leaving us with bags sent to secondary in the lurch. At least we made our flight.

Fast Track for SK@ARN yesterday also had some very slow families with young kids who got directed to what was usually an empty and fast moving Fast Track checkpoint. But what really was slowing it up was some teenage girls who just took their jolly old time to gather their stuff and clear the bins.
At least historically, CPH Express and OSL both seem to have some people directed to the express screening at times even when otherwise not entitled to use the express screening arrangement. CPH way more for me than eVen OSL and also more than various other Schengen airports.

SAS Fast Track at CPH was closed in late July when last trying to use it as an A3*G and UA*G on an SAS flight in economy class; and it didn’t work for CPH Express either. At ARN, it still reliably worked as an an A3*G and UA*G on SAS July flights using UA miles.
What are SK’s Fast Track hours at CPH this month?
