• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/ERROR_HANDLING124 - You are not authorized to display the message &1 ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/ERROR_HANDLING124 indicates that a user is not authorized to display a specific message identified by &1. This error typically arises in the context of the Application Interface Framework (AIF) when a user attempts to access error messages or logs that they do not have permission to view.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to view the specific error message.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for accessing AIF error handling or message display.
  Message Visibility Settings: The configuration settings for message visibility in AIF may restrict certain users from viewing specific messages.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for authorization failures. This transaction will show you which authorizations are missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to assign them to a role that includes the necessary permissions for AIF error handling. This typically involves roles that include access to transaction codes related to AIF, such as /AIF/ERR_LOG or similar.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Permissions:
  
  If the user is already assigned the correct role, you may need to modify the role to include the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to AIF include:
  
  S_TCODE (Transaction Code)
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization)
  S_AIF_* (Specific AIF authorizations)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or permissions, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure the user is granted the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to access the error message again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on AIF and authorization management to understand the specific roles and permissions required for different functionalities.
