How To Fix WP3ROLES043 - Authorization role &1 is used in multiple portal roles

WP3ROLES043 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WP3ROLES - Portal Role Maintenance

• Message number: 043

• Message text: Authorization role &1 is used in multiple portal roles

What causes this issue?

Authorization role &V1& was found to be used in more than one
combination of portal role and target system.
A possible reason could be an incorrect transport landscape, in which
the portal sends its data to multiple systems through one transport
line.

System Response

You cannot process the role with this transaction. Assigning the role
to users could have unwanted effects.

How to fix this error?

Check the transport landscape for roles. The portal should send its
data to a single system in one transport line only.
If you need to send data to multiple systems, you must ensure that you
do not create authorization roles with identical names.
You can choose "Utilities --> Clean up data" to remove the assignment
of authorization role &V1& in the current system if you cannot resolve
the situation by transporting the role from the source system of the
redundant entry.
You must restart the transaction to see the effects of this operation
on the status of the remaining elements.
