• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/CUSTOM_FUNCTION049 - No authorization to display custom functions ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/CUSTOM_FUNCTION049 No authorization to display custom functions typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access or display custom functions in the SAP Application Interface Framework (AIF). This can occur in scenarios where custom functions have been defined for processing messages, and the user attempting to access them lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the appropriate roles or authorizations assigned to access the custom functions.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorization objects related to AIF custom functions.
  Custom Function Definition: The custom function may be defined in a way that restricts access based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to AIF custom functions.
  Authorization Objects: Identify the relevant authorization objects that control access to AIF custom functions. Common authorization objects include:
  
  S_AIF_CUST: This object controls access to custom functions in AIF.
  S_USER_AUTH: This object may also be relevant depending on the specific configuration.
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles: If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations.
  Testing: After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for specific details on the required authorizations for AIF custom functions.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on authorization issues related to AIF.
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) to check and modify user roles, and PFCG (Role Maintenance) to manage roles and authorizations.
  AIF Configuration: Review the AIF configuration settings to ensure that custom functions are properly defined and that access controls are set up as intended.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and updating authorizations, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
