  The SAP error message RSM718 indicates that there is an issue with the user-dependent storage of the Workbench for a specific user, which has been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Workbench, where user-specific settings or configurations are stored.
  Cause:
  
  User Deletion: The primary cause of this error is that the user for whom the Workbench settings were stored has been deleted from the system. This can happen if a user account is no longer needed or if there was a mistake in user management.
  Transport Requests: If there are transport requests associated with the deleted user, it may lead to inconsistencies in the Workbench settings.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the error can also arise due to authorization issues where the current user does not have the necessary permissions to access the Workbench settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Recreate the User: If the user was deleted by mistake, you can recreate the user in the SAP system. This will restore the user-dependent settings.
  Delete User-Specific Settings: If recreating the user is not an option, you may need to delete the user-specific settings from the Workbench. This can typically be done by:
  
  Navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for the Workbench).
  Finding the user-specific settings and removing them.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: Review any transport requests that may be associated with the deleted user and ensure they are properly managed.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the current user has the necessary authorizations to access the Workbench. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust authorizations as needed.
  
  Related Information:
