Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S#660 - Composite role & created without single role assignments ?

  The SAP error message S#660 indicates that a composite role has been created without any single role assignments. This typically occurs when a composite role is defined but does not contain any underlying single roles, which makes it ineffective for user authorization purposes.
  Cause:
  
  Composite Role Definition: A composite role is intended to group multiple single roles together for easier management and assignment to users. If no single roles are assigned to the composite role, it cannot provide any authorizations.
  Configuration Error: The composite role may have been created incorrectly, or there may have been an oversight during the role assignment process.
  System Configuration: There may be a system configuration issue or a misunderstanding of how composite roles should be structured.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign Single Roles: The primary solution is to edit the composite role and assign one or more single roles to it. This can be done through the SAP GUI:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG.
  Enter the name of the composite role.
  In the "Roles" tab, add the relevant single roles that should be included in the composite role.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Review Role Structure: Ensure that the composite role is structured correctly and that it meets the requirements for the users who will be assigned this role.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the composite role by assigning it to a user and verifying that the user has the expected authorizations.
  
  
  Documentation: Document the changes made to the role structure for future reference and to ensure compliance with your organization’s role management policies.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Role Management: Understanding the difference between composite roles and single roles is crucial for effective role management in SAP.
  Authorization Concepts: Familiarize yourself with SAP authorization concepts, including how roles and authorizations work together to control access to transactions and data.
  Best Practices: Follow best practices for role design and management, such as minimizing the number of composite roles and ensuring that each role has a clear purpose.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or Security team for further investigation.
