Hello Experts,
I have encounter a issue in role. In authorization tab status of profile is shown as "Profile comparison is required". Traffic signal for Authorization tab is Red. However authorizations beneath these roles are reflecting in user buffer.
I am unable to compare user buffer for the same and it is throwing a message as "update profile first, then compare user master record"
What is the impact for this is not sure to me. Also what is the meaning of status "Profile comparison is required" appeared in Authorization tab.
In DEV and QA system everything is fine. This is for Production system.

This means the system has detected that the authorizations in the role where altered and the profile wasn't regenerated afterwards. The user still has the old authorizations in his/her buffer.

That is exactly what you should do.

The authorizations in the role and the authorizations in the profile linked to the user may be inconsistent. That's your impact.

See above.

That's strange. Was this role transported or uploaded into production?

Dear,
Sometimes when you transport role from DEV/QAS, the profile is not generated in production system.
So goto PFCG, open role in display mode and generate the profile manually.
I hope it will resolve your problem.
Best Regards

Hi Jurjen,
Yeah that's what happened. I look more into change history of profile and it confirms that. However later some changes happened to this role in dev and transported to QA so everything is fine... Thanks a lot.
