  Mapping role is a feature of the ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) in SAP. It allows users to assign roles to different users or groups of users, which can then be used to control access to certain areas of the system. This helps to ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data or functions. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use mapping role, first create a role in the ABAP Runtime Environment. This can be done by selecting the “Create Role” option from the menu. Then, assign users or groups of users to the role by selecting the “Assign Users” option from the menu. Finally, set up access rights for the role by selecting the “Set Access Rights” option from the menu. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up access rights for a mapping role, it is important to remember that only authorized users should have access to sensitive data or functions. It is also important to keep track of who has access to what, as this can help prevent unauthorized access.
