Applications for configuring the user interface

In the default version of One Identity Manager, the applications and the predefined navigation for the One Identity Manager tools, the Manager, the Designer, and the Launchpad are also supplied. Predefined configurations are maintained by the schema installation and cannot be edited apart from a few properties. It is not usually necessary to define your own applications. You might possibly need your own applications for a customer specific web interface.

In the Designer, the available programs are shown in the Base data | Security settings | Programs category.
