  The SAP error message /SAPCE/FK_ARCH_MSG005 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to display the log related to archiving in the SAP system. This is a common issue that can arise when users attempt to access logs or reports that require specific permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. The authorization checks in SAP are designed to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can access certain functionalities, including viewing logs related to archiving.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error. You can do this by using transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Check if the user has the necessary authorizations related to archiving. This typically involves checking for specific authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for archiving logs may include:
  
  S_ARCHIVE: This object controls access to archiving functions.
  S_DATASET: This object controls access to file operations, which may be relevant if logs are stored in files.
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Use transaction code PFCG to modify roles and add the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test again to see if the user can now access the log without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the necessary authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
