• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 881191 - Personalization using roles is not unique ?

  The SAP error message 881191, "Personalization using roles is not unique," typically occurs when there is a conflict in the personalization settings for a user due to multiple roles being assigned that have overlapping or conflicting personalization settings. This can happen in various SAP modules where user roles and authorizations are managed.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Roles: The user has been assigned multiple roles that contain similar or identical personalization settings, leading to ambiguity in which settings should be applied.
  Conflicting Personalization: Different roles may have conflicting personalization settings, causing the system to be unable to determine which one to prioritize.
  Role Inheritance: If roles are inherited, the inherited settings may conflict with the direct settings of the user.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review User Roles: Check the roles assigned to the user and identify any overlapping or conflicting personalization settings. You can do this by using transaction codes like PFCG (Role Maintenance) to analyze the roles.
  Consolidate Personalization: If possible, consolidate the roles to eliminate redundancy. This may involve merging roles or adjusting the personalization settings within the roles.
  Adjust Personalization Settings: Modify the personalization settings in the conflicting roles to ensure they do not overlap. This may involve changing the settings in one or more roles to make them unique.
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the user’s access to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the desired personalization is applied correctly.
  User-Specific Personalization: If necessary, consider setting up user-specific personalization that does not rely on roles, ensuring that the user has a unique set of settings.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like PFCG for role management and SU01 for user maintenance.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
