• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/API_CUST141 - No authorization to delete custom hint ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/API_CUST141 No authorization to delete custom hint typically indicates that a user is attempting to delete a custom hint in the SAP Application Interface Framework (AIF) without having the necessary authorizations. This error is related to the security and authorization checks in SAP, which ensure that users can only perform actions they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object to delete custom hints in the AIF.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the AIF module or specifically for deleting custom hints.
  Custom Authorization Objects: If your organization has implemented custom authorization checks, the user may not meet those criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:

  Other specific objects related to the AIF functionality.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
