  System Configuration: There may be issues with the system configuration or the way roles are managed in the SAP system.
  
  Solution:

  Go to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01 for user maintenance).

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After assigning the role or making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
