• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/ICD_CONTENT036 - You are not authorized to execute this report ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/ICD_CONTENT036 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific report within the SAP Application Interface Framework (AIF). This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that grants access to execute the report.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary permissions.
