Public Checkbox Not Visible in sap.ui.comp.smartvariants SmartVariantManagement on showShare='true'

[hritika]

I'm developing a freestyle SAPUI5 application which has FilterBar with table. I am using the demoKit sample code for this: https://ui5.sap.com/#/entity/sap.ui.comp.filterbar.FilterBar/sample/sap.ui.comp.sample.filterbar.Dyn... and  smartVariantMangement control with the following configuration:

<f:heading>
                    <svm:SmartVariantManagement id="svm" showShare="true" standardItemText="{i18n>reviewTitle}" />
                </f:heading>

Also, in my manifest.json, I have: "flexEnabled": true 

• SAPUI5 version: 1.120.6

• Backend: Java-based CAP application

• Deployment: Both frontend and backend are deployed to SAP BTP (Fiori Launchpad site)

However, when I try to save a variant/view, the "Public" checkbox is not visible in the Save As or Manage Views dialogs.

Possible Issue:

I suspect this might be due to missing authorization, but I am unsure how this applies to BTP-only apps
Is there a way to enable public variant support or check missing authorizations in the BTP context?
