• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC012 - All users used exist in the system ?

  The SAP error message RSEC012 indicates that all users specified in a particular authorization object or role already exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's security and authorization management, particularly when dealing with user roles and authorizations in the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or other SAP modules.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to create or modify a user role or authorization profile, and the system detects that the users you are trying to assign to that role or profile are already assigned or exist in the system. This can happen in scenarios such as:
  
  Attempting to assign users to a role that they are already assigned to.
  Trying to create a new authorization object with users that are already included in another object.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSEC012 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Assignments:
  
  Review the user assignments for the role or authorization object you are working with. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., PFCG for role maintenance) and checking the users assigned to the role.
  
  
  
  Modify User Assignments:
  
  If the users are already assigned to the role, you may not need to add them again. You can either remove the users from the list you are trying to add or simply proceed without adding them again.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Ensure that the authorization objects you are working with do not have overlapping user assignments. If they do, you may need to adjust the assignments accordingly.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SU01:
  
  You can use transaction SU01 to check the user profiles and roles assigned to specific users. This can help you identify if the users are already assigned to the role you are trying to modify.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the specific role or authorization object, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP security team for guidance on best practices for user role assignments.
