This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or execute a function that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorizations in their role/profile to access the value mapping functionality for custom functions.

  Custom Function Restrictions: The custom function may have specific restrictions or configurations that limit access based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorizations are missing.
  Review the authorization logs to identify the specific missing authorizations.

  S_USER_AUTH - for user authorizations.
