  Error Message
  WP3ROLES023: No authorization roles are assigned to user &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a user tries to perform an action or access a transaction that requires specific authorization roles, but the user does not have any of the required roles assigned in the system. Essentially, the system checks for the presence of certain authorization roles linked to the user, and if none are found, it throws this error.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  The user has not been assigned any roles related to the workflow or process they are trying to access.
  The roles assigned to the user do not contain the necessary authorizations.
  The user master record is missing role assignments.
  The authorization roles required for the specific workflow or transaction have not been maintained or assigned.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Role Assignments:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to display the user master record.
  Go to the Roles tab and verify if the user has the necessary roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  Identify the roles required for the workflow or transaction the user is trying to access.
  Assign these roles to the user in SU01 or via role assignment tools (e.g., PFCG).
  
  
  
  Verify Role Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to check the roles and their authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles contain the necessary authorization objects and values.
  
  
  
  Check Workflow or Application Documentation:
  
  Sometimes, specific roles are documented for particular workflows or applications.
  Refer to the relevant SAP documentation or BASIS/security team for the exact roles needed.
  
  
  
  User Master Record Synchronization:
  
  If roles were recently assigned, ensure the user has logged off and logged back in to refresh authorizations.
  In some cases, a system restart or user master record synchronization might be necessary.
