  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects to create or modify custom functions in AIF.

  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up to allow access to the AIF functionalities.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.

  Consult with your SAP security team to ensure that the correct authorizations are added.
