  The SAP error message 5N371 ("Rights data contradictory") typically occurs in the context of authorization management within SAP systems. This error indicates that there is a conflict or inconsistency in the authorization data for a user or role, which prevents the system from processing a request.
  Causes:
  
  Conflicting Authorizations: The user may have conflicting authorizations assigned, such as roles that grant different permissions for the same object.
  Inconsistent Role Definitions: Roles may be defined in a way that leads to contradictory rights, such as one role allowing access while another denies it.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may lack the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action, leading to a contradiction in expected rights.
  Changes in Role Assignments: Recent changes to user roles or authorizations that have not been properly updated or synchronized can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If roles or authorizations were transported from one system to another, inconsistencies may arise if the transport was not executed correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review User Authorizations: Check the user’s assigned roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to identify any conflicting entries.
  Analyze Role Definitions: Use transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user and ensure that there are no conflicting authorizations within those roles.
  Use Authorization Trace: Utilize transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check and identify which specific authorization is causing the issue.
  Adjust Role Assignments: If conflicts are found, consider adjusting the role assignments or modifying the roles to eliminate contradictions.
  Check for Missing Authorizations: Ensure that all necessary authorizations are included in the roles assigned to the user.
  Transport Validation: If the issue arose after a transport, validate that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included.
