1 Overview
Applications are used to grant permissions to a group of users to nodes, dashboards, actions, policies and events within your organisation. Once you have added the servers and users to an application, simply assign roles to the users and let them do the rest. The application roles give your users permissions to do various things such as configuring and deploying monitoring, running actions on servers, viewing events and more.
