  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ROLE_ASGT037 indicates that when attempting to delete user groups associated with a specific role, only a subset of the selected user groups was successfully deleted. The message typically follows this format:
  Only &1 of the &2 selected user groups of role &3 deleted.
  Where:

  &2 is the total number of user groups that were selected for deletion.
  &3 is the name of the role from which the user groups are being deleted.
  
  Cause
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete all the selected user groups.
  User Group Status: Some user groups may be locked or in use, preventing their deletion.
  Role Assignment: The user groups may still have active assignments to users, which can restrict their deletion.
  System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that prevent the deletion of certain user groups.
  
  Solution
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete user groups. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust authorizations if necessary.
  
  
  Review User Group Status: Check the status of the user groups you are trying to delete. If they are locked or in use, you may need to unlock them or remove their assignments before attempting deletion again.
  
  
  Check Role Assignments: Verify if the user groups are still assigned to any users. If they are, you will need to remove those assignments before you can delete the user groups.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Look at the system logs or error messages for more detailed information about why the deletion was not fully successful. This can provide insights into specific user groups that could not be deleted and the reasons behind it.
