  System Upgrades: Changes in system versions or upgrades may also lead to inconsistencies in role definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Role Names: Check the role name in the DCL and compare it with the role name in the DCL metadata. Ensure they match exactly.

  Recreate DCL: In some cases, it may be easier to recreate the DCL if the metadata is too inconsistent or corrupted.
  Check Authorization Objects: Ensure that the authorization objects associated with the role are correctly defined and that there are no missing or incorrect entries.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to DCL and authorization management for any specific guidance or known issues.
