The document is a set of specifications describing updates that need to be made to this IT application, which is described as "application fictive":
"Ce document a pour objectif de décrire l’ajout optionnel de l’application fictive XX dans la fiche d’habilitation de l’utilisateur"
"L’application fictive infocentre XX permet de gérer les accès aux guichets sensibles et aux données sensibles des infocentres "
I have had no luck finding other occurrences of this phrase in Google and research into potential uses of "fictif" in an IT context seems to vary widely: placeholder, formal, fictitious, dummy.

dummy application
Based on your text: La règle de gestion actuelle, un utilisateur ayant une fiche d’habilitation YY a une et une seule application fictive XX, ce qui a pour conséquence de donner potentiellement accès aux Infocentres à tous les utilisateurs même si ces derniers n’ont pas d’Infocentre dans leur fiche d’habilitation"
Example of dummy application in a similar context:
"Applications comprising programs and data structures are updated to include a dummy application that can replace the ordinarily executable application and that manipulates the data structure when invoked, so as to limit it.....
The dummy application is subsequently reduced to have a limited amount of the original functionality and to prompt the user to delete it.
This is especially helpful when temporary permission is needed because etc.... So if a user needs to use the application, then the permission log may allow unauthenticated access for some period of time or a limited number of times before a connection must be made to renew permissions. "

: Right answer but your examples don't really fit. See my discussion entry.

Thanks, Terry! You're right. It's definitely a permission workaround - which is what I was looking for, although I did not find the same context.

sample application
In this particular context, the text is describing interaction between various components. I believe that "fictive" is used merely to highlight that XX is not a real application, only an example for the purpose of understanding.

"La règle de gestion actuelle, un utilisateur ayant une fiche d’habilitation YY a une et une seule application fictive XX, ce qui a pour conséquence de donner potentiellement accès aux Infocentres à tous les utilisateurs même si ces derniers n’ont pas d’Infocentre dans leur fiche d’habilitation"
The XX "application fictive" grants permission to access the Infocentre and exists for each and every user, even if the user is not meant to have access to the Infocentre. Does "dummy" convey this idea of a file that is created automatically and individually for all users? I'm not even sure that "fictif" conveys that idea!
