• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message JO024 - Profile & is protected by user & ?

  The SAP error message JO024 indicates that a specific profile is protected by a user, which means that the profile cannot be changed or deleted because it is currently locked or secured by a user. This typically occurs in the context of authorization profiles or roles within the SAP system.
