5. Click the + Add Application button in the top right corner of the Applications table.

6. Enter a name for your Application in the Add Application pop-up window.

7. Click OK.

Note:

• If you enter an existing Applications name, you will see a notification in the bottom right corner of the window.

• Visit the Limitations page to learn which characters can be used in application names.

The new Application will be added to the Applications table, and a notification will appear in the bottom right corner of the window.

Application Default Permissions

As an organization administrator, you have the option to configure every new application to be automatically assigned to the admins group, granting its members access by default:

1. Navigate to Administration → General.

2. Use the Default Project Visbility toggle to determine the behavior.

   • Enabled: A newly created application is automatically assigned to the admins group.

   • Disabled (default): A newly created application is not automatically assigned to the admins group. Access must be granted explicitly via group-role associations.

Note:

• Access to an application grants access to all the projects within that application.

• The setting applies to newly created applications only and does not affect existing applications.
