• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_LOG005 - User entity (&4) of context &1 (internal ID &2) of type &3 deleted ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_LOG005 indicates that a user entity associated with a specific context has been deleted. This message typically arises in the context of SAP's PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module, particularly when dealing with authorization logs or user management.
  Cause:
  
  User Deletion: The user entity referenced in the error message has been deleted from the system. This could happen due to administrative actions or changes in user roles.
  Context Issues: The context in which the user entity was being referenced may no longer be valid, leading to the inability to find the user.
  Data Consistency: There may be inconsistencies in the database where the user entity was expected to exist but has been removed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Existence: Verify if the user entity (identified by the internal ID) still exists in the system. You can do this by checking the user management transactions (like SU01).
  Recreate User: If the user has been deleted and is still needed, you may need to recreate the user entity with the same attributes and roles.
  Update Context: If the context is no longer valid, you may need to update the references in your application or configuration to point to a valid user entity.
  Authorization Checks: Ensure that the necessary authorizations are in place for the user to access the required contexts.
  Consult Logs: Check the system logs for any additional information that might provide context on why the user was deleted or if there are any related issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), SU10 (Mass User Maintenance), and SUIM (User Information System) for managing users and authorizations.
  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes related to this error message for any patches or updates that might address known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on user management and authorization concepts within the PLM module for a better understanding of how user entities are managed.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
