This error indicates that there is an issue with the hierarchy or structure of the objects you are trying to move within the project or portfolio.
  Cause:
  
  Hierarchy Restrictions: The object you are trying to move (e.g., a task, project, or work package) may not be allowed to be placed under the target object due to hierarchy rules or restrictions defined in the system.

  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to move the object. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the required authorizations.
