• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_SHARED039 - You do not have authorization to set the status 'To Assign' ?

  The SAP error message DPR_SHARED039 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change the status of a project or task to "To Assign" in the SAP Project Management module. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Project System (PS) or Project Management (DPR) functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to change the status of the project or task. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Status Management: The project or task may have specific status management settings that restrict certain users from changing the status.
  Project Type Restrictions: Certain project types may have restrictions on who can change statuses based on the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions related to project management.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, a security administrator should update the user's roles to include the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to project management include:
  
  C_PROJ (Project Management)
  C_DPR (DPR Authorization)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate activity codes (e.g., 01 for create, 02 for change, etc.) for the relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Project Management Team:
  
  If the project has specific status management rules, consult with the project management team or the person responsible for project governance to understand if there are any additional restrictions in place.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure the changes take effect. Then, attempt to change the status again.
