Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/UGRP_LOG010 - User &1 already exists in user group &2; no changes required ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/UGRP_LOG010 indicates that a user is already assigned to a specific user group, and therefore, no changes are required. This message typically arises in the context of user group management within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with user authorizations and roles.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to add a user to a user group where the user is already a member. The system recognizes that the user is already part of the specified user group and thus does not perform any action, leading to this message.
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify User Group Membership: Check the current membership of the user in the specified user group. You can do this by navigating to the user group management transaction (e.g., using transaction code SU01 for user maintenance or PFCG for role maintenance).
  
  
  No Action Needed: If the user is already a member of the user group, you do not need to take any further action. The message is informational, indicating that the system has recognized the existing membership.
  
  
  Remove and Re-add (if necessary): If you intended to change the user's membership (e.g., remove them from the group and then add them back), you can first remove the user from the group and then add them again.
  
  
  Check for Other Issues: If you believe the user should not be in the group or if there are discrepancies, check for any authorization issues or conflicts that may need to be resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Groups: User groups in SAP are used to manage authorizations and roles for multiple users efficiently. They allow for easier administration of user permissions.
