/ISDFPS/ROLES007 - Details

• The SAP error message /ISDFPS/ROLES007 Reference role &1 is a composite role typically occurs in the context of SAP's role management, particularly when dealing with authorization roles in the SAP system. This error indicates that the role you are trying to reference or use is a composite role, which is a role that contains other roles (i.e., it is a collection of single roles).
  
  Cause:
  
  Composite Role Reference: The error arises when an operation or function expects a single role but receives a composite role instead. Composite roles cannot be directly used in certain contexts where a single role is required.
  Role Assignment Issues: If you are trying to assign a composite role to a user or in a transaction that only accepts single roles, this error will be triggered.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Single Roles: Instead of using the composite role, identify the individual single roles that are part of the composite role and use them
