• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM_SYNTAX065 - Inherit from functional grant role &1 not allowed ?

  The SAP error message ACM_SYNTAX065, which states "Inherit from functional grant role &1 not allowed," typically occurs in the context of role management and authorization in SAP systems. This error indicates that there is an issue with the inheritance of roles, particularly when trying to inherit from a functional grant role that is not permitted.
  Cause:
  
  Role Type Restrictions: The error often arises when you attempt to inherit from a role that is classified as a functional grant role. Functional grant roles are designed to provide specific authorizations and are not intended to be used as parent roles for other roles.
  Role Configuration: The role you are trying to inherit from may not be configured correctly or may have restrictions that prevent it from being used as a parent role.
  Authorization Concept: The authorization concept in SAP may restrict certain roles from being inherited due to security policies or best practices.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Role Type: Verify the type of the role you are trying to inherit from. If it is a functional grant role, you will need to create a different role that can be inherited from, such as a composite role or a standard role.
  Create a New Role: If you need to combine authorizations, consider creating a new role that includes the necessary authorizations from the functional grant role without directly inheriting from it.
  Review Role Design: Reassess the design of your roles and ensure that they align with SAP best practices. Avoid using functional grant roles as parent roles.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines regarding role management and authorization concepts to ensure compliance with best practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on role management.
  Authorization Management: Familiarize yourself with the SAP authorization management framework, including the differences between various role types (e.g., composite roles, single roles, and functional grant roles).
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like PFCG (Profile Generator) to manage roles and analyze their configurations.
  Testing: After making changes, test the roles to ensure that the authorizations work as intended without triggering errors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ACM_SYNTAX065 error and effectively manage your SAP roles and authorizations.
