  The SAP error message /CPD/SS_MESSAGES214 indicates that you are trying to delete the project manager role from a project, but the system is preventing this action. This typically occurs in the context of project management within SAP, particularly in the Project System (PS) module.
  Cause:
  
  Role Assignment: The project manager role is likely assigned to a user who is currently active in the project. SAP does not allow the deletion of roles that are actively being used or are essential for the project's integrity.
  Project Status: The project may be in a status that does not allow changes to roles. For example, if the project is in a completed or closed status, modifications to roles may be restricted.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies or configurations that require the project manager role to remain assigned for reporting or other functional reasons.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Project Status: Ensure that the project is in a status that allows for changes. If the project is completed or closed, you may need to reopen it or change its status to allow modifications.
  Reassign Role: If you need to remove the project manager role, consider reassigning it to another user first. This may involve assigning a new project manager before attempting to delete the role.
  Review Role Dependencies: Check if there are any dependencies or configurations that require the project manager role. If so, you may need to address those dependencies before proceeding with the deletion.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's guidelines on project role management to ensure compliance with best practices.
  Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to project roles. If not, consult with your SAP administrator.
