How to fix this error?

Contact your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

When maintaining authorization roles for portal roles, the system
transports the authorization roles together with the assignment data.
The current situation therefore is an inconsistency.
A possible reason could be that the authorization role has been deleted
outside the assignment transaction.
To remove the inconsistencies, the report offers a cleanup function
that removes the assignment.
Please note that this should not happen on a regular basis. If you
encounter such events regularly, you should check that the role
distribution process is working correctly.
