# 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

#### Create an Application

1. In the Organization Management page, click on the action button right next to the organization that you want to add a new application

3. Confirm the details and submit to complete application creation

{% 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:

{% hint style="success" %}
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.
