How to remove ABAP roles from a User if the roles have already been deleted

[Former Member]

Hi we have the following problem.

We have deleted a ABAP role from the system.

We have not deleted this from the users that had it assigned.

Now in Su01 in the Roles Tab we see Roles with the "Type" field Blank.

The only way to remove these roles from the user is to go user by user and this is very slow.

Does anyone have a better way to do it?

Thx in advance

I think that the only way is to remove role user by user.

What if you ran PFUD with clean-up option? tables USR12 and UST10S would be compared - if user still has corresponding profile associated with the role you have deleted - then the profile related authorizations would be removed from user buffer. I hope this may solve your issue. By the way, role deletion should automatically mean deletion of user assigment for that role? Is this issue due to deletion transport of role i.e you deleted the role in Dev and facing the issue of removing role from user in SU01 in a quality system?

Thx Prashant, we have approached this now using PFCG_TIME_DEPENDENCY , and this has removed the roles for all the users that has roles that had been deleted. (think this actually uses your tcode PFUD).

We are not sure what Our service provider has done when created the transport for deleting the roles from DEV and then in the rest of the landscape...but one thing they did not do is remove the role from the users

Thx for your answer. This has been very usefull.
