• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQ680 - User &1 not assigned to role &2 ?

  The SAP error message AQ680 indicates that a user (denoted as &1) is not assigned to a specific role (denoted as &2). This error typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action or access a transaction for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Role Assignment: The user has not been assigned the required role in the SAP system that grants the necessary permissions to perform the action.
  Authorization Issues: The role may exist, but the user may not have been properly assigned to it due to configuration issues or oversight.
  Profile Changes: Changes in roles or profiles may have occurred, leading to the user losing access to certain functionalities.
  User Status: The user account may be locked or inactive, preventing role assignments from being effective.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Role Assignment:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Enter the user ID (the value of &1) and check the roles assigned to the user.
  If the required role (the value of &2) is not listed, you will need to assign it.
  
  
  
  Assign the Role:
  
  If you have the necessary authorization, you can assign the role directly in SU01.
  Alternatively, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization to assign the role.
  
  
  
  Verify Role Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the role itself is correctly configured and contains the necessary authorizations for the required transactions.
  Use transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to review and modify the role if needed.
  
  
  
  Check User Status:
  
  Ensure that the user account is active and not locked. This can also be checked in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
