  SAP Message: WP3ROLES040
  Text: User &1 has been assigned to authorization role &2
  
  Cause:
  This message typically appears in the context of SAP Workflow or Role Administration when you are trying to assign or manage roles and users. It indicates that the user (represented by &1) is already assigned to the authorization role (represented by &2).
  In other words, the system is informing you that the user already has the specified role assigned, so no new assignment is necessary or possible.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you attempt to assign a role to a user who already has that role.
  During workflow role assignment checks.
  While managing user authorizations in transaction codes like PFCG (Role Maintenance) or workflow role assignments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check existing role assignments: Verify if the user already has the role assigned by using transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG.
  Avoid duplicate assignments: Since the user already has the role, no further action is needed to assign the same role again.
  If you intended to assign a different role: Double-check the role name or ID to ensure you are assigning the correct role.
  If you want to remove the role: Use transaction PFCG or SU01 to remove the role from the user.
  If this message appears unexpectedly: Check for any custom code or workflow logic that might be trying to assign roles redundantly.
