In SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, business catalogs are a well-established concept to pre-bundle authorizations. They combine authorizations for business functionality (selection of apps) into semantically meaningful building blocks as best practices delivered by SAP that represent tasks or sub-processes for a certain workplace within an overall business process.
While the general concept of business catalogs is being kept, I’m very happy to announce, that with the 2502 release and the introduction of IAM apps of the app authorization variant type (app authorization variants), business catalogs change from indivisible entities into entities that bundle app authorization variants that can be activated or deactivated. Consequently, app authorization variants become the smallest entity for business role design, providing greater flexibility to manage authorizations for business users including which apps they can use.
Screenshots:
Preview: deactivate individual IAM Apps in app "Maintain Business Roles"
Preview: On top: app “Maintain Business Roles”, tab "IAM Apps" is showing active/inactive app authorization variants. Below on the left: the new app “Display IAM Apps” is showing details like contained restriction types and dependencies. On the right: navigating to the app-related documentation.
Please note that this feature is only available for business catalogs that support IAM apps.
