DescribeApplicationAssignment
Retrieves a direct assignment of a user or group to an application. If the user doesn’t have a direct assignment to the application, the user may still have access to the application through a group. Therefore, don’t use this API to test access to an application for a user. Instead use ListApplicationAssignmentsForPrincipal.
