Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_SHARED032 - You require authorization to create the lower-lev. proj. elem. of &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message DPR_SHARED032 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create a lower-level project element (such as a work package or task) within a project. This error typically occurs in the context of Project System (PS) or Project Management (PM) modules in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user attempting to create the project element. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object for project management activities.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include permissions to create lower-level project elements.
  Project Status: The project may be in a status that does not allow for the creation of new elements.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels that prevent the user from creating project elements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or assign additional roles that include the required authorizations for project management.
  Ensure that the authorization object C_PROJ (for project management) is included in the user’s roles with the appropriate activity (e.g., create, change).
  
  
  
  Project Status Check:
  
  Verify the status of the project. If the project is locked or in a status that does not allow changes, you may need to change the project status or unlock it.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the correct access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to create the lower-level project element again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with relevant authorization objects for project management, such as C_PROJ, C_PROJ_T, and others that may be relevant to your organization’s configuration.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for additional guidance or known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on Project System and authorization management for best practices in managing user access.
