• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM124 - Trying to delete role ?

  The SAP error message ACM124, which states "Trying to delete role," typically occurs when there is an attempt to delete a role that is still being used or has dependencies in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when managing user roles in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Role Assignment: The role you are trying to delete is still assigned to one or more users.
  Dependencies: The role may have dependencies on other roles or objects that prevent its deletion.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to delete the role may not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  System Locks: There may be system locks or transactions that are currently using the role.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Role Assignments:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check if the role is assigned to any users. If it is, you will need to remove the role from those users before attempting to delete it.
  You can also use transaction PFCG to view the role and its assignments.
  
  
  
  Remove Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other roles or objects that depend on the role you are trying to delete. This may involve checking for composite roles or other linked roles.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to delete roles. You may need to consult with your SAP security administrator to ensure you have the right permissions.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that there are no active sessions or transactions that are using the role. You can check for locks using transaction SM12.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction PFCG:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG, enter the role name, and check the role details. If the role is still active or has users assigned, you will need to address those issues first.
  
  
  
  Delete Role:
  
  Once you have ensured that the role is not assigned to any users and has no dependencies, you can attempt to delete the role again in transaction PFCG.
