App Management
Application Management in the PAM dashboard enables organizations to organize applications by grouping them and defining their details, making policy assignment and management simpler and more effective.
The app management is classified into 2 sections:
- Application Group
- Application Definition
Application Group
In the EPM dashboard, the Application Group page displays all created application groups.
From this page, you can:
- Create a New Application Group
- Use the Action menu for each existing group to:
- Manage Definitions – Add or remove application definitions within the group
- Manage Policy – Assign or update policies for the group
- Edit Application Group – Modify the group name, description, or platform
- Delete Application Group – Remove the application group from the dashboard
This allows centralized management of application groups, their definitions, and associated policies.
