Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure when deleting an application and regenerating its secret in the OAuth2 application flow. Trace the source of the “You are not allowed to delete this application” message and identify whether both operations fail for the same permission reason. Done means applications can be deleted and their secrets regenerated by an authorized user without that error.
