• What is the impact if a RBP group name contains semicolon ";" ?

Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental.

Scenario of RBP Group Name contains semicolon ";"

Replication steps：

1. Configured a RBP group, the name contains semicolon ";"，i.e: "groupA;groupB"，and assign this RBP group to a RBP role as below:

2. Next time when you try to update the granting data which contains the above group in this RBP role, click "edit granting" > under "Grant role to: " > click "Select.." button, you will find even this RBP group "groupA;groupB" was granted before, the "selected items" remains blank: 

3. In this existing RBP role relationship, once you add any new RBP group from left side of above screenshot (i.e RBP group:Admin), and save the existing permission group configuration in this RBP role, the old RBP group "groupA;groupB" will be auto deleted from this RBP configuration, only newly added RBP group:Admin remains in the list of "Permission Group or Users":

This is Expected behavior. Please do not add semicolon in any of the RBP group Name, it will cause RBP group missing problem, like granted RBP group will be deleted from the RBP role.

*If you are using the Latest Role-Based Permission pages to manage RBP role, this issue wont happen.
