• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP3ROLES048 - Composite role &1 cannot be transformed to an authorization role ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WP3ROLES048 Composite role &1 cannot be transformed to an authorization role
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to convert or transform a composite role into an authorization role in SAP. Composite roles are collections of single (authorization) roles and cannot be directly converted into authorization roles because their structure and purpose differ fundamentally:
  
  Composite Role: A container role that groups multiple single roles for easier assignment.
  Authorization Role (Single Role): Contains the actual authorizations and profiles.
  
  The system prevents transforming a composite role into an authorization role because a composite role does not contain authorizations itself, only references to other roles.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Do not attempt to transform composite roles into authorization roles.
  Instead, work with the single roles that make up the composite role.
  
  
  If you need to create an authorization role similar to the composite role, you must:
  
  Identify all the single roles included in the composite role.
  Analyze their authorizations.
  Create a new single role manually or
