  The SAP error message /PLMI/PPEENG174 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display all objects in the context of the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access certain data or objects for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is related to authorization issues. Specifically, it can occur due to:

  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects that control access to the PLM functionalities are not properly configured or assigned to the user.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transactions or object types that the user is trying to access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:

  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the PLM module.

  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 request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
