  The SAP error message GHO_OWNERSHIP_BO011 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to check out a Document Object Identifier (DOI) in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Document Management System (DMS) or similar modules where document ownership and access rights are critical.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to check out the DOI does not have the required permissions assigned in their user profile.
  Ownership Issues: The DOI may be owned by another user or may have restrictions that prevent others from checking it out.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for document management activities.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for checking out DOIs.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as S_DOKU_AUTH for document management.
  
  
  
  Check Document Ownership:
  
  Verify if the user is the owner of the DOI. If not, you may need to transfer ownership or have the current owner check out the document.
  Use transaction CV03N to view the document and check its properties, including ownership.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are trained on the document management processes and understand the importance of ownership and authorization in SAP.
