Prerequisites
- Concept ABAP Business Catalogs An ABAP Business Catalog is a grouping mechanism used in SAP BTP ABAP environment to organize and expose business services and apps for access control and launchpad integration. Developers use it to assign authorizations and make custom applications available to business users through the SAP Fiori launchpad. When [troubleshooting custom apps](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/f9e18605e01a485098fe5478649bd474?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud), verifying correct business catalog assignment is a key step in resolving access or visibility issues.
- Concept BTP IAM Business Catalog Authorization A **Business Catalog** in SAP BTP Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a grouping mechanism that bundles related authorizations, making them available for assignment to business users. Developers use it to organize and expose the authorization objects required by an application, so that administrators can grant users access to specific app features or data. For example, the [Maintain Deleted Business Users](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/a904bdd423264cd3bda2b78c36186c2e?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud) app relies on business catalog assignments to control which users can view details of deleted business users.

- Concept SAP Fiori Elements List Report The **editing status** reflects the state of an object or entry in terms of its editing lifecycle, indicating whether it has unsaved changes, is locked by another user, or is in a draft state. Developers use it in SAP Fiori elements applications — such as the [List Report Page](https://ui5.sap.com/#/topic/0418ac46c5df43beb816ca86c827e33b) — to communicate to end users the current modification state of a record. It can be configured as a filter or display element to help users identify which items are drafts, active, or being edited by others.
- Concept IAM App Definition An **IAM App** (Identity and Access Management App) is an object in the SAP BTP ABAP Environment that a developer defines to manage business user authorization for a business service. It serves as the foundation for assigning users to authorization structures by linking a business service to the appropriate access controls. Developers use it as part of the process of [defining an IAM App for a business service](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/99318293939b4ec78283f28dac17d2f2?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud), and can choose from multiple [IAM App types](https://help.sap.com/docs/btp/sap-business-technology-platform/ec65f13fcc6d41efa73f819fe657c33b?locale=en-US&state=PRODUCTION&version=Cloud) depending on the nature of the service being exposed.
