  The SAP error message DPR_SHARED011 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to flag a specific object (like a project or document) for archiving in the SAP system. This error typically occurs in the context of project management or document management within SAP.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user lacks the necessary permissions to perform the action of flagging an object for archiving. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role may not include the required authorization object for archiving.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to allow archiving actions.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated with the latest roles or permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DPR_SHARED011 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include archiving permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to archiving include:
  
  S_ARCHIVE (Archive Management)
  S_DATA (Data Management)
  
  
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary activities (like create, change, delete) for archiving.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to flag the object for archiving again.
