  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_CC_2012056 User &1 has neither display nor send authorization; execution stopped
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to execute a function or transaction related to SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe (or other SAP document processing tools) but lacks the necessary authorizations. Specifically, the user does not have either:
  
  Display authorization: Permission to view the form or document, or  
  Send authorization: Permission to send the form/document (e.g., via email or print).
  
  Without at least one of these authorizations, the system stops the execution to prevent unauthorized access or actions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to grant the user the appropriate authorizations. The steps are:
  
  
  Identify the user: The message will show the user ID in place of &1.
  
  
  Check the authorizations:  
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  Grant the required authorizations:
  
  The relevant authorization objects typically involved are:  
  
  S_WGDS_DSP (Display authorization for SAP Interactive Forms)  
  S_WGDS_SEND (Send authorization for SAP Interactive Forms)  
  
  Ensure the user has at least one of these authorizations assigned via roles.
  
  
  Adjust roles:  
  
  Add the necessary authorization objects to the user's roles in PFCG.  
  Assign the updated roles to the user.
  
  
  
  Test:
  
  After updating the authorizations, have the user retry the operation to confirm the error is resolved.
