  The SAP error message FSSC_RDS116 indicates that a user is attempting to assign roles to another user in the CRM system but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue related to user permissions and roles within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user trying to assign roles does not have the required authorizations in the CRM system to perform user role assignments.

  Review Role Configuration:
