• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW056 - Wrong customizing; more than one role and system alias for current user ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW056 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of roles and system aliases for the current user in the context of the SAP Gateway. This error typically arises when the system detects that a user has been assigned multiple roles or system aliases that conflict with each other, leading to ambiguity in determining which role or alias should be used for processing requests.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Roles: The user has been assigned more than one role that is associated with the same service or system alias.
  Conflicting System Aliases: The system aliases configured for the user may point to different back-end systems or services, causing confusion in routing requests.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the appropriate authorizations for the roles assigned, leading to conflicts in role resolution.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.

  Navigate to transaction IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE (Maintain Services).
  Check the system aliases configured for the services that the user is trying to access.
  Ensure that there is a clear mapping of roles to system aliases without overlaps.
  
  
  
  Adjust Role Assignments:
  
  If multiple roles are not necessary, consider consolidating them or removing the conflicting roles.
  If specific roles are required, ensure that they are correctly configured to point to the appropriate system alias.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations for the roles assigned. Use transaction SU53 to check for authorization failures after the error occurs.
