• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DPR_SHARED055 - No authorization for creating project of project type '&1' (&2) ?

  The SAP error message DPR_SHARED055 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create 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 in the user's role or profile to create a project of the specified type. The placeholders &1 and &2 in the error message represent the project type and the specific project ID, respectively. This means that the user is trying to create a project of a type for which they do not have the required permissions.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for project creation in SAP typically include:
  
  C_PROJ (Project Management)
  C_PROJ_T (Project Type)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects, particularly for the project type they are trying to create.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  This can be done using transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  
  
  
  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 authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to create the project again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
