To assign the Business Role XYZ to the Business User:

1. Go to Application and User Management work center
2. Go Business Users view
3. Search for Business User
4. Select Edit and choose Access Rights
5. In Business Role Assignment tab, assign the Business Role: XYZ
6. You observe the mentioned errors

The errors could be due to one of the below reasons:

1. The Business User is not a manager in the system. For the Business User, the Restriction Rule 02 - Restrict to Managed Organizational Unit's Company of SRM_PRODUCTSREPORTS is not able to determine any restriction. While assigning the authorization of view SRM_PRODUCTSREPORTS to user, the system tries to find the managed units by this Business User. Since it is not able to determine any, it is raising the error.

2. The Employee ID which is corresponding to the Business User is a lean Employee in the system. That is, only basic data of Employee has been created through migration tool. Migration of Personnel Administration data is not done and therefore, the data/ properties for Position, Work Agreement, Employment etc. are not available in the system for this Employee.

Business Role with Restriction Calculation Rule will assign the view only if the restrictions can be determined for the specific view and rule. If the implementation of the rule does not return any restrictions, it will not assign the view. This is the standard behavior of business roles functionality. From the authorization framework, it is working as per the design.

As per the root cause, you may use one of the below approaches to resolve the issue.

1. Ensure that the Business User is a manager or remove the Restriction.

2. Position ID is required during calculation of Access Context Restriction Rules. The Business Role XYZ with such Restriction Rules cannot be assigned to this Business User. Assign the work center views manually for the Business User or create a Business Role without the Restriction Rules.
