Diagnosis
User &V3& may run EBP application &V1&. However, attributeROLE is not defined for the position S &V4& assigned to him.
This attribute defines which authorization roles may be assigned whenusers are being created.
If no approval workflow is used for new users, a default value must beset for the attribute ROLE. If no default value is found or if a newuser logs on via the self-service scenario, the approval workflow isactivated automatically and the approver assigns the role later basedon his default values. In this scenario, the attribute ROLE must be setfor the approver's position.
