This error is commonly encountered in the context of SAP's reporting and logging functionalities.
  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 assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to create new versions of the specified object.

  Solution:
  To resolve the RSTLOGO051 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to review the user's roles and authorizations. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for creating new versions.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify that the user lacks specific authorizations, you can either:
  
  Modify the existing role to include the necessary authorization objects.
  Create a new role that includes the required permissions and assign it to the user.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user attempt to create a new version again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
