# Applications
## Overview
Applications are discrete namespaces that correspond to specific markets and/or use cases, within which roles, topics, and channels are configured. Organizations are the administrators of applications.

## User Guide
### Pre-requisites
* User logged into Switchboard
* An organization was created
#### Create an Application

{% hint style="success" %}
Note that any application namespace you define will automatically be created under an “apps” subdomain within your organization’s namespace. For example, if your organization’s namespace is “`exampleco.iam.ewc`" and you wish to create a new subdomain for an application you call "DERmanager," then your resulting namespace will be "`dermanager.apps.exampleco.iam.ewc`" (the "apps" subdomain is added automatically, to organize applications separately from other subdomains).
{% endhint %}
Once you have completed all steps to create the new application, your `Application Management` tab should appear similar to the image below:

You have several possible actions, similar to your options under organization management. Note that you also have the option to filter your applications by the organization; this may be helpful if, for example, different subsidiaries within your corporate umbrella wish to manage applications separately, but you as a designated super admin need to be able to view all of them.
