Symptom

  • For 2SL, Is it be possible to create roles in test and transport them to production even if they already exist in production system?
  • For 3SL, Is it be possible to create roles in development system and transport them to test system and forward to production system even if they already exist in production system?
  • Some of the roles are directly created in the production system and are only allowed to be modified within the production system.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Cloud

Resolution

It is possible to create roles in Quality system and transport them to production system even if they already exist in production,

  • For 2SL, can create roles in test and transport them to production even if they already exist in production system
  • For 3SL, can create roles in test and transport them to production even if they already exist in production system

This will overwrite the Business Roles and the restrictions in Production system and also it will not change any Business User Assignment. This process is expected, Business users do not get erased, and the spaces get assigned properly, there will be no issues with other assignments like restrictions. 

NOTE: Business Roles created in production system can only be modified in the Production system. Creation of new Business Roles in Production system is not recommended by SAP.
