• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ROLE_ASGT013 - Only &1 of the &2 selected users deleted ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ROLE_ASGT013 indicates that when attempting to delete role assignments for multiple users, only a subset of the selected users was successfully processed. The message typically states something like "Only &1 of the &2 selected users deleted," where &1 is the number of users successfully deleted and &2 is the total number of users you attempted to delete.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The users that were not deleted may not have the necessary authorizations or roles assigned to allow for the deletion of their role assignments.
  Role Assignment Restrictions: Certain roles may have restrictions that prevent them from being deleted for specific users, possibly due to dependencies or active assignments.
  User Status: The status of the users (e.g., locked, inactive) may also affect the ability to delete their role assignments.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database locks or inconsistencies in the user-role assignment tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete role assignments for all selected users. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Review Role Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependencies or restrictions on the roles assigned to the users that are preventing deletion.
  User Status Verification: Check the status of the users in question. If they are locked or inactive, you may need to address their status before attempting to delete their role assignments.
  Error Logs: Review the SAP system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context on why the deletions failed.
  Manual Deletion: If the bulk deletion continues to fail, consider manually deleting the role assignments for the users that were not processed successfully.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to role management and authorization issues for further guidance.
