  The SAP error message DPR_SHARED022 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete dependent objects of a specific object type in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of project management or portfolio management within SAP, where certain objects may have dependencies that require specific authorizations to manage.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a user attempts to delete an object (like a project, task, or other dependent objects) but lacks the required authorization. The message format includes placeholders (&1 and &2) that represent the object type and the object ID, respectively. 
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's authorization profile to ensure they have the necessary permissions to delete the specified object and its dependencies.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorization Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or profiles. This can be done by:
  
  Adding the necessary authorization objects to the user's role.
  Consulting with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the appropriate access rights.
  
  
  
  
  
  Review Object Dependencies:
  
  Understand the dependencies of the object you are trying to delete. Sometimes, other objects may be linked to it, and you may need to delete those first or ensure you have the right to delete them.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific authorization objects related to project management (like C_PROJ for project management authorizations) to understand what permissions are required.
  
  
  
  Testing:
