/PLMB/AUTH_ROLE_ASGT008 - Details

• The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ROLE_ASGT008 indicates that you are trying to delete user groups that are inherited from superordinate contexts, which is not allowed in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of authorization management, particularly when dealing with roles and user groups in the SAP system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Inheritance of User Groups: The user group you are trying to delete is part of a hierarchy where it inherits properties or roles from a higher-level context (superordinate context). In SAP, certain user groups or roles are designed to inherit permissions and settings from their parent groups or roles.
  Authorization Management: The system is designed to maintain the integrity of the authorization structure, preventing the deletion of groups that are still in use or that have dependencies on higher-level groups.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Before attempting to delete a user group, check if it is being used in any roles or if it has any dependencies
