• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC457 - Profile &1 removed from user &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSEC457 indicates that a specific authorization profile has been removed from a user. This message typically arises in the context of SAP's authorization management, particularly when dealing with user roles and profiles in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Profile Removal: The most direct cause of this error is that the specified authorization profile (e.g., a role or set of permissions) has been removed from the user account. This could happen due to administrative changes, role reassignments, or updates to user profiles.
  Authorization Changes: Changes in the authorization concept or updates to the roles and profiles in the system can lead to this message if the user no longer meets the criteria for the profile.
  System Configuration: Sometimes, system configuration changes or updates can inadvertently affect user profiles and their associated authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Reassign the Profile: If the profile is still valid and needed, you can reassign it to the user. This can be done through transaction codes like PFCG (Profile Generator) or SU01 (User Maintenance).
  
  Go to transaction SU01.
  Enter the user ID and click on "Change."
  Navigate to the "Roles" tab and add the necessary profile back to the user.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization Changes: Review any recent changes made to roles or profiles that might have led to the removal. Ensure that the user’s roles are correctly configured and that they have the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  Audit User Roles: Conduct an audit of user roles and profiles to ensure that all users have the appropriate access they require for their job functions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the removal was part of a larger change initiative (like a system upgrade or migration), consult the relevant documentation or change logs to understand the context of the changes.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you suspect it is due to a system bug, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.

  Authorization Concepts: Understanding SAP's authorization concepts, including roles, profiles, and authorization objects, can help in troubleshooting and managing user access effectively.
  
  
  Change Management: Implementing a change management process for user roles and profiles can help prevent unauthorized changes and ensure that users maintain the necessary access.
