Target Tree Security function is not supported in permission role synchronization.

Engineering confirmed the Tree security permissions will be supported for transports after the b2505 release. Until then as workaround fix, follow these steps:

1. Login to the source instance. 

2. Navigate to the Manage Permission Roles page, click "Switch back to legacy Role-Based Permissions", and then click the role name you want to sync. 

3. Check if the role contains the tree security permission labeled "Configure Structural Dimensions." If it does, click the "Edit Granting" link. 

4. Locate the step "Specify the target tree security permissions applicable to each Structural Dimension, which the granted users have permission to access," and capture the source result. 

5. Edit the permission role to remove the "Configure Structural Dimensions" permission.

6. Sync the role using the Configuration Transport Center. 

7. Edit the role and configure the target tree security according to step 4 in both the source and target instances.
