• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ROLE_ASGT014 - Only &1 of the &2 selected user groups deleted ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ROLE_ASGT014 indicates that when attempting to delete user groups, only a portion of the selected user groups was successfully deleted. The message typically follows the format: "Only &1 of the &2 selected user groups deleted," where &1 represents the number of user groups that were successfully deleted, and &2 represents the total number of user groups that were attempted to be deleted.
  Cause:
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete all the selected user groups. This can happen if the user lacks specific roles or permissions related to user management.
  
  
  System Constraints: Some user groups may be linked to active users or other system constraints that prevent their deletion. For example, if a user group is currently assigned to users or is part of a role that is in use, it cannot be deleted.
  
  
  Technical Errors: There may be underlying technical issues, such as database locks or inconsistencies in the user group data, that prevent the deletion of certain groups.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete user groups. This may involve reviewing the user's roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  Review User Group Assignments: Check if the user groups that were not deleted are currently assigned to any users or roles. If they are, you will need to remove those assignments before attempting to delete the user groups again.
  
  
  Error Logs: Review the system logs or error messages for more detailed information about why the deletion failed for specific user groups. This can provide insights into any technical issues that need to be addressed.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to user group management for any specific guidelines or known issues that may apply to your situation.
