• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_ES_SUMMARY005 - Missing authorization to display documents ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_ES_SUMMARY005 indicates that a user is missing the necessary authorization to display documents in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Document Management System (DMS) or when accessing certain document-related transactions.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be related to document display permissions.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions to access the documents.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that restricts access based on user roles or authorizations.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels that prevent the user from accessing certain documents.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the authorization objects related to document display, such as S_DOKU_DOK (for document management) or other relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for document display.
  If the roles are missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or assign a different role that has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the results from the SU53 transaction.
  
  
  
  Document Status Check:
  
  Verify the status of the document you are trying to access. If it is restricted due to its status, you may need to change the status or request access from the document owner.
  
  
  
  Organizational Level Review:
  
  Ensure that the user has the correct organizational level access if the document is restricted based on organizational units.
