  Error Message
  WZ076: You do not have authorization to display the job log
  
  Cause
  This error occurs because the user trying to display the job log does not have the necessary authorization to view the job log details in SAP. Specifically, the user lacks the required authorization object(s) that control access to job logs.
  In SAP, access to job logs is controlled by authorization objects such as:
  
  S_BTCH_JOB (Batch Input: Job)
  S_JOBLOG (Job Log: Display)
  
  If the user does not have the appropriate values assigned in these authorization objects, the system will prevent access to the job log and raise this error.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, check the authorization trace using transaction ST01 to identify missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user has the authorization object S_JOBLOG with the appropriate activity (usually activity 03 = Display).
  Also, check S_BTCH_JOB for the relevant job class or job name if restrictions are applied.
  The authorization object S_JOBLOG controls the display of job logs.
  
  
  
  Update Roles:
  
  Add the missing authorization objects and values to the user's role(s).
  Transport the updated roles to the relevant system if necessary.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user try to display the job log again to confirm the issue is resolved.
