  The SAP error message RMPS_PRO117 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change a specific attribute in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Project System (PS) or related modules where attributes of objects (like projects, WBS elements, etc.) are being modified.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. The specific attribute that the user is trying to change is protected by authorization checks, and the user does not have the required permissions to perform that action.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, 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 Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorizations for changing the specific attribute.
  If the user is missing a role, you may need to assign the appropriate role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct roles but still encounters the error, you may need to modify the authorization objects associated with those roles. This may involve adding specific authorizations related to the attribute in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to perform the action again to see if the error persists.
