• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSTLOGO050 - User &1 is not authorized to create new versions for &2 &3 ?

  The SAP error message RSTLOGO050 indicates that a user is attempting to create a new version of a report or object (typically a variant or a report version) but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This error is commonly encountered in the context of SAP reporting and variant management.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization for the user attempting to create a new version. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object that allows them to create new versions of reports or variants.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions to perform this action.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to allow for version creation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSTLOGO050 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for creating versions. This may involve checking the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG.
  If the user does not have the required role, you may need to assign a role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  The relevant authorization object for creating versions is typically S_PROGRAM or S_TCODE. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for these objects.
  Specifically, check for the ACTVT (activity) field, which should include the value for creating (usually 01 for create).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or profiles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and assign the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user attempt to create the version again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
