  The SAP error message DPR_SHARED053 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete a project of a specific project type. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Project Management (PS) or SAP Portfolio and Project Management (PPM).
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user attempting to delete the project. The project type specified in the error message (represented by &1) and the project ID (represented by &2) indicate the specific project that the user is trying to delete. The authorization check is performed based on the user's roles and permissions defined in the SAP system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check failure. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).

  Ensure that the user has the appropriate activity (e.g., 02 for delete) for the project type in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message details and the project type to expedite the authorization adjustment.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user attempt to delete the project again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
