• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P5066 - You are not authorized to display version & ?

  The SAP error message P5066 ("You are not authorized to display version &") typically indicates that a user is trying to access a version of a document or data that they do not have the necessary authorization to view.

  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization 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.

  Consult with Security Team:
