What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/apps/creating-github-apps/registering-a-github-app/registering-a-github-app

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Consider this line

* Under an **organization** that has granted you permission to manage all its apps. See "[AUTOTITLE](/organizations/managing-programmatic-access-to-your-organization/adding-github-app-managers-in-your-organization)."{% ifversion enterprise-apps-public-beta %}

I am an app manager in the aliro-technologies org. Following the settings steps, when I go to https://github.com/settings/organizations, there is no "settings" button to the right of the aliro-technologies org. There is a "settings" button on another org where I'm an owner. This suggests to me that the documented steps don't work if a user is an app manager. They only work if a user is an owner.
