The reference user is classified

System Response

The system follows the rules below (in order) during system
measurement:
With manually classified users, their classification is used
With users that take their authorizations exclusively from a reference
user (no roles, no profiles) and for whom the assigned reference user
is classified, the classification of the reference user is inherited
All other users are assigned a default value or possibly with a
predefined user type in accordance with the active price list,
depending on the production status of the relevant client.

How to fix this error?

You can determine the non-classified users in the system measurement
transaction (transaction USMM, choose "User Classification"), and then
classify these users.
When you create users using the user maintenance transaction (SU01),
you can enter the data relevant to measurement immediately (choose
the "License Data" button or tab page).
You can classify reference users in the system measurement transaction
(USMM), by choosing "Goto" -> "Reference User Classification".
