In case of role,we assign various transaction,reports ,menu etc but in profile we assign various authorization.In a single profile we can have maximum of 150  authorization.

During creation of Role through PFCG,profile are manually or automatically generated and are assigned to role and further role are assigned to user master record with the help of SU01.So we can say that role acts as a wrapper to profile.

Hi Sandip,

This thread is over 5 years old, I hardly expect the original poster to follow up on it... also asking for "rewards" is not allowed. Read the "Rules of Engagement"

Hi Juan,

I thought it might be useful for any other SAP Security guy who might be interested in this.
