  2. In System Admin > Security > Permissions > New Object Instances > Add New Revision or Version, make sure the user is added to the Persons topic

*Note that if the document is in a sub-scope then the user must have the Member-Subscope role, with the Member-Subscope role granted the "Can Use" permission for the document template.
