Overview:
Multiple versions of the same document or past document versions are listed in the Vault search results and/or Reporting.
Root Cause:
The affected user belongs to two groups that have the same lifecycle role in the document. One of these groups has View Document permissions in a previous version of the document but not the current version.
Solution:
Each version of a Vault document stores the groups and users for which it is the latest version. Vault uses that data to show each user the latest versions they have access to when searching for documents.
However, if a user belongs to multiple groups, it is possible that the latest version of a document that a user can access differs between two groups they belong to. By belonging to both groups, the user effectively has two versions of a document which are the latest versions.
The solution is to grant View Document permissions to the affected lifecycle role in the current version of the affected document.
