• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ACC080 - Inconsistencies in role &1 and user entity &2 of context &3 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ACC080 indicates that there are inconsistencies between a role and a user entity within a specific context. This typically occurs in the context of authorization management, particularly when using the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module or similar systems that rely on role-based access control.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have the correct role assigned, or the role may not be properly configured.
  Context Mismatch: The context in which the role is being evaluated may not match the context of the user entity.
  Changes in Role Definition: If the role has been modified (e.g., permissions added or removed) after it was assigned to the user, this can lead to inconsistencies.
  Transport Issues: If roles were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), inconsistencies may arise if the transport was not executed correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Role Assignment:
  
  Go to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and verify that the user has the correct roles assigned.
  Ensure that the role in question is active and properly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Role Configuration:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to review the role definition. Check for any missing authorizations or inconsistencies in the role settings.
  If changes were made to the role, consider reassigning the role to the user to refresh the authorization data.
  
  
  
  Context Verification:
  
  Ensure that the context specified in the error message matches the context of the user entity. This may involve checking organizational levels or other context-specific settings.
  
  
  
  Authorization Trace:
  
  Use transaction ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization checks for the user. This can help identify where the inconsistency lies.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Use transaction SUIM to run a consistency check on roles and users. This can help identify any discrepancies that need to be addressed.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP Notes or documentation related to authorization management for any specific guidance or known issues related to this error.
