• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S#428 - Role & deleted ?

  The SAP error message S#428 "Role & deleted" typically indicates that a user is trying to access a role that has been deleted or is no longer available in the system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when a user is assigned a role that has been removed from the system or when there are inconsistencies in the user-role assignments.
  Cause:
  
  Role Deletion: The role that the user is trying to access has been deleted from the system.
  Transport Issues: If roles are transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), there may be inconsistencies if the role was deleted in one system but not in another.
  User Assignment Issues: The user might still have the role assigned in their profile, but the role itself no longer exists in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Role Existence: Verify if the role in question still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the role management transaction (e.g., PFCG) and checking the list of roles.
  Reassign Roles: If the role has been deleted and is no longer needed, you may need to remove it from the user’s profile. If the role is required, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if available.
  User Profile Update: Update the user’s profile to remove any references to the deleted role. This can be done in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Transport Check: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that the role is correctly transported to all relevant systems and that there are no inconsistencies.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the required transactions or data without the deleted role.
