• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/VMAP_MESSAGES032 - You are only authorized to display value mapping &1/&2/&3 ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/VMAP_MESSAGES032 indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action related to value mapping in the Application Interface Framework (AIF) but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. The message typically states: "You are only authorized to display value mapping &1/&2/&3," where &1, &2, and &3 represent specific identifiers related to the value mapping context.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user role. The user may have permissions to view (display) value mappings but lacks permissions to create, modify, or delete them.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for value mapping activities in AIF.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user needs to perform actions beyond display (like create or modify), you will need to adjust the authorization roles. This may involve:
  
  Adding the necessary authorization objects related to AIF and value mapping.
  Ensuring that the user has the appropriate activity codes (like 01 for create, 02 for change, etc.) for the relevant authorization objects.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify the required authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
