Applications /applications

Applications in authentik are the other half of providers. They exist in a 1-to-1 relationship, each application needs a provider and every provider can be used with one application.

Applications are used to configure and separate the authorization / access control and the appearance in the Library page.

Authorization

Application access can be configured using (Policy) Bindings. Click on an application in the applications list, and select the Policy / Group / User Bindings tab. There you can bind users/groups/policies to grant them access. When nothing is bound, everyone has access. You can use this to grant access to one or multiple users/groups, or dynamically give access using policies.

By default, all users can access applications when no policies are bound.

When multiple policies/groups/users are attached, you can configure the Policy engine mode to either

  • Require users to pass all bindings/be member of all groups (ALL), or
  • Require users to pass either binding/be member of either group (ANY)

Appearance

The following aspects can be configured:

  • Name: This is the name shown for the application card
  • Launch URL: The URL that is opened when a user clicks on the application. When left empty, authentik tries to guess it based on the provider
  • Icon (URL): Optionally configure an Icon for the application
  • Publisher: Text shown below the application
  • Description: Subtext shown on the application card below the publisher

Applications are shown to users when

  • The user has access defined via policies (or the application has no policies bound)
  • A Valid Launch URL is configured/could be guessed, this consists of URLs starting with http:// and https://

Hiding applications

To hide applications without modifying policy settings and without removing it, you can simply set the Launch URL to blank://blank, which will hide the application from users.

Keep in mind, the users still have access, so they can still authorize access when the login process is started from the application.
