• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/CUSTOM_FUNCTION065 - No authorization to edit this custom data link ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/CUSTOM_FUNCTION065 No authorization to edit this custom data link typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to edit a specific custom data link in the Application Interface Framework (AIF). This can occur in scenarios where users are trying to modify or manage data links that are part of custom configurations in AIF.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that grant permission to edit the custom data link.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific AIF functions.
  Custom Development: If the custom data link was developed with specific authorization checks, it may restrict access based on the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for AIF.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects related to AIF, such as S_AIF_* or any custom authorization objects that may have been created.
  You can use transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check and see which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust the roles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error is resolved.
