  Check Existing User Groups: Before creating a new user group, check the existing user groups to ensure that the ID you are trying to use is not already in use. You can do this by navigating to the user group management section in SAP.
  Use a Unique ID: If you find that the user group ID you are trying to use is already taken, choose a different, unique ID for the new user group.
