• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S#680 - Authorization data of derived roles adjusted ?

  The SAP error message "S#680 Authorization data of derived roles adjusted" typically indicates that there has been a change in the authorization data of a derived role in the SAP system. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message that indicates that the system has automatically adjusted the authorization data for a derived role based on changes made to the parent role or the underlying authorization objects.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in Parent Role: If the parent role of a derived role has been modified (e.g., changes in authorization objects, transactions, or profiles), the derived role will automatically adjust its authorization data to reflect these changes.
  Role Maintenance: When a user or administrator performs role maintenance activities, such as adding or removing authorizations, the system may trigger this message to inform that adjustments have been made.
  Transport Requests: If roles are transported from one system to another, the derived roles may also need to be adjusted to align with the new environment.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Role Changes: Check the changes made to the parent role to understand what adjustments have been made to the derived role. This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Check Authorization Data: After the adjustments, review the authorization data of the derived role to ensure that it meets the necessary requirements for users assigned to that role.
  Testing: Conduct testing to ensure that users assigned to the derived role can perform their required tasks without any authorization issues.
  Documentation: Document any changes made to roles and their impact on derived roles for future reference and compliance.
