M5066 - Details

• 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
