3641953 - "Supports IAM apps" flag displayed for individual application but the IAM app inside the catalog cannot be deactivated in the role - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The "Supports IAM Apps" flag is displayed as true for individual applications in the IAM Information System, but the business catalog of the applications like SAP_LE_BC_OD_PROC_MC does not support IAM apps and the IAM app cannot be deactivated in the role.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

The business catalog of the application does not support IAM app. The deactivation of applications is not supported on business catalog level.

The difference between the application-level flag ("Supports IAM Apps" = true) and the catalog-level status ("IAM Apps not supported") reflects how authorization management information is provided across two distinct layers:

• Application Level: The "Supports IAM Apps" flag here shows whether the individual application is technically capable of integrating with IAM (Identity and Access Management) apps. This means each application within the business catalog can, from a technical standpoint, work with IAM apps—hence, the flag displays "true". An IAM app can basically appear in different catalogs.
• Business Catalog Level: The status at the catalog (like SAP_LE_BC_OD_PROC_MC) level indicates the overall technical migration status of the entire catalog as it is shipped. Although the individual apps are technically ready, IAM Apps have not been fully activated or officially supported as a group for catalog-wide use. In case the catalog already supports the "individual" enablement or disabling of its apps, then the flag shows "Supports IAM App"; otherwise, it is shown as "does not support".
