• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/ROLES011 - Derived roles exist for role &1 that is to be deleted ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/ROLES011 indicates that you are trying to delete a role in the SAP system, but there are derived roles associated with the role you are attempting to delete. Derived roles are roles that inherit authorizations from a parent role, and SAP does not allow the deletion of a parent role if derived roles exist.
  Cause:
  
  You are attempting to delete a role that has one or more derived roles linked to it.
  The system enforces this restriction to maintain the integrity of the authorization structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you have a couple of options:
  
  
  Delete Derived Roles First:
  
  Identify the derived roles associated with the role you want to delete.

  You can find derived roles by using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) and checking the role details.
  
  
  
  Adjust Role Structure:
  
  If you do not want to delete the derived roles, consider adjusting the role structure instead. You can modify the derived roles or reassign them to another parent role if necessary.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction PFCG:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG.
  Enter the role name you want to delete.
  Click on the "Display" button.
  Check the "Derived Roles" tab to see which roles are derived from the role you are trying to delete.
  Delete or modify those derived roles as needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of deleting roles, consult your organization's documentation or SAP's official documentation regarding role management and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
