Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BORGR414 - Target user has already assigned groups; copy not possible ?

  The SAP error message BORGR414 indicates that the target user you are trying to copy user groups to already has user groups assigned to them. This situation prevents the copying process from proceeding because the system does not allow overwriting existing user group assignments.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to copy user groups from one user to another, but the target user already has existing user group assignments. The system is designed to prevent the loss of existing configurations by not allowing the overwrite of user groups.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you have a few options:
  
  
  Manually Adjust User Groups:
  
  Before copying, you can manually review the user groups assigned to the target user and decide whether to remove them or keep them. You can do this by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and checking the user groups assigned to the target user.
  
  
  
  Remove Existing User Groups:
  
  If you want to proceed with the copy operation and do not need the existing user groups, you can remove the current user groups from the target user before attempting to copy again.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Target User:
  
  If the target user must retain their existing user groups, consider copying the user groups to a different user who does not have any existing assignments.
  
  
  
  Combine User Groups:
  
  If you want to keep both the existing user groups and the new ones you are trying to copy, you can manually add the new user groups to the target user instead of copying them.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more detailed information on user management and authorization concepts.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the BORGR414 error and manage user groups effectively in your SAP system.
