## Role Assignment with AMS { #roles-assignment-ams }

CAP applications that use the [Identity Authentication Service (IAS)](https://help.sap.com/docs/identity-authentication) for authentication can leverage the [Authorization Management Service (AMS)](https://help.sap.com/docs/cloud-identity-services/authorization-management-service) to provide comprehensive authorization. Similar to IAS, AMS is part of the [SAP Cloud Identity Services (SCI)](https://help.sap.com/docs/cloud-identity-services).
CAP applications that use the [Identity Authentication Service (IAS)](https://help.sap.com/docs/identity-authentication) for authentication can leverage the [Authorization Management Service (AMS)](https://sap.github.io/cloud-identity-developer-guide/Authorization/GettingStarted.html) to provide comprehensive authorization. Similar to IAS, AMS is part of the [SAP Cloud Identity Services (SCI)](https://help.sap.com/docs/cloud-identity-services).

Why is AMS required? Unlike tokens issued by XSUAA, IAS tokens only contain static user information and cannot directly provide CAP roles.
AMS acts as a central service to define access policies that include CAP roles and additional filter criteria for instance-based authorizations in CAP applications.
