Role Deletion

Former Member — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 05:09:13 GMT

Hello,

I deleted a Role in Development system. I made sure to add it in a transport request before deleting it. When I was trying to delete the Role, it had few users assigned to it in Development system. So, I had to remove the user assignment and then delete the Role.

This same role has some users assigned in QA and many users assigned in Production.

- Do I need to remove the user assignment before the transport moves to QA and Production?

- Will the transport fail to delete the roles in QA and Prod, if I do not remove the User assignment?

Hi Abhishek,

I will not fail to delete roles when transport is imported.

Best practice is to delete user assignments before deletion of role to avoid any warnings & inconsistencies.

Ajesh.

Hi Abhishek,

While deleting a role the user assignments will automatically gets removed for the role.

So no need to remove user assignment before the TR movement in QA/Prod. The transport will not fail. Kindly check it.

In addition to Laxmans reply:

make sure, that in the importing system(s) pfud is executed with the option 'Cleanups' from time to time to clean up user assignements to such non existing roles (table agr_users). this is done of course within the pfcg_time_dependency-job, if scheduled with standard selection.

cherio, Bernhard
