Can you please help me, we are using 14.5.0.
Thanks,

This means the user performing the publish action doesn’t have the authorization to publish, or the document is not in a state that allows a transition to the publish state.

@kumamanish You need to provide more context to this problem.
From the error above, we can only know that the logged-in user does not have permission to publish or the document is not corrupted state like @jasper.floor said.
