Managing External Applications

An external application is another application that contains resources that do not belong to the current application. From SecureApp, in addition to the resources in the current application, application owners can connect to resources in an external application.

We recommend using application interfaces for managing resources that do not belong to the current application. Managing external applications, while supported, are not considered a best practice.

Application owners can do these tasks without even exiting the current application view:

• View the external applications and servers
• Add the external application's servers to the current application's connections
• Create a new application
• Create a new server or new server group in the external applications

  To let users create connections that use servers from other applications in both the source and destination, the administrator must enable this permission in Settings > SecureApp Settings: Allow users to create connections with external resources in both source and destination
