Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ROLE_ASGT007 - You cannot delete users inherited from superordinate contexts ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ROLE_ASGT007 indicates that you are trying to delete user assignments that are inherited from a higher-level context (superordinate context) in the authorization management system. This typically occurs in the context of role management and user assignments in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with authorization roles and their assignments.
  Cause:
  
  Inherited Roles: The user you are trying to modify has roles assigned that are inherited from a higher-level organizational unit or role. In SAP, roles can be assigned at different levels (e.g., organizational units, groups), and if a user inherits a role from a higher level, you cannot delete that assignment directly at the lower level.
  Authorization Management: The system is designed to maintain the integrity of role assignments and prevent unauthorized changes that could affect the overall security model.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Role Inheritance: Review the role assignments for the user in question. Identify the superordinate context from which the role is inherited.
  Modify at Higher Level: If you need to remove the role, you must do so at the higher level where the role is assigned. This may involve:
  
  Navigating to the higher-level organizational unit or role.
  Removing the user from that role or modifying the role assignment.
  
  
  Use Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like PFCG (Profile Generator) to manage roles and user assignments. Check the role details and the user assignments to understand the inheritance structure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed instructions on managing role assignments and understanding the implications of role inheritance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Role Management: Understanding how roles and authorizations work in SAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with concepts like role inheritance, composite roles, and single roles.
  Authorization Concepts: Learn about the authorization concept in SAP, including how roles are structured and how they can be assigned to users.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
  Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or Security team for assistance, as they may have more context on the specific configurations in your system.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the error message and manage user role assignments effectively.
