  The SAP error message AUTHORITY005 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specified planning version in the SAP system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when a user attempts to perform actions related to planning versions without the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object for the planning version they are trying to access.

  Planning Version Not Assigned: The planning version may not be assigned to the user or their role in the system.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has a role that includes access to the required planning version.
  Use transaction code PFCG to review and modify user roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:

  You can use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  Assign Planning Version:
  
  If the planning version is not assigned to the user or their role, you may need to add it. This can typically be done in the planning application settings or through the role maintenance transaction.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
