This can occur in various contexts, such as during user provisioning, role assignment, or when trying to create a new user.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Username: The primary cause of this error is that the username you are trying to assign is already in use by another user in the system.

  Choose a Different Username:
  
  If the username is already in use and you cannot modify the existing user, consider creating a new user with a different username.
  
  
  
  Check for Typographical Errors:
  
  Ensure that there are no typos in the username you are trying to assign. Double-check for any leading or trailing spaces.
