• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M5066 - You are not authorized to display version & ?

  The SAP error message M5066, which states "You are not authorized to display version &," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a version of a document or data that they do not have the necessary authorizations for. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in materials management (MM) or production planning (PP), where version control is used.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to view the specific version of the document or data.
  Version Control Settings: The version being accessed may be restricted or protected due to specific settings in the system.
  User Role Configuration: The user's role may not include permissions for the specific transaction or object they are trying to access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to access the version in question.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include access to the relevant authorization objects related to version management.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can provide assistance in identifying and granting the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Version Settings:
  
  If applicable, review the version control settings in the relevant module to ensure that the version is not set to be restricted or protected from certain users.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to version management include M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Work Center) and M_MATE_VERS (Material Master: Version Management).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Display Authorization Check).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization management and version control in the specific module you are working with.
