• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /S4PPM/USER_MEASMENT004 - Professional user: User has Evaluate authorization for type &1, obj. &2 ?

  The SAP error message /S4PPM/USER_MEASMENT004 indicates that a professional user does not have the necessary authorization to evaluate a specific measurement type and object. This error typically arises in the context of SAP S/4HANA Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) when a user attempts to access or evaluate certain data without the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to perform the evaluation on the specified measurement type (&1) and object (&2). This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the evaluation.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the measurement type and object may not be configured correctly for the user.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not include the necessary permissions to access the required data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the evaluation of the specified measurement type and object.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_USER_AUTH, S_TCODE, etc.) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create new roles that include the necessary authorizations for the evaluation.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  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 to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the evaluation process again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
