# Manage application identities

Create, manage, and delete application identities in ***Administration – Application identities***.

### Create an application identity

Follow the steps below to create a new application identity. Once your application identity has been created, continue to the next section to assign them the right permissions.

1. In ***Administration – Application identity***, click ***Add Application Identity*** at the top right.

4. Close the window.

By default, a newly created application identity has no permissions. See the next section to assign permissions.

### Assign permissions

Depending on the actions that this application identity needs to perform, you need to assign it the proper rights:

* [Assign system permissions to the application identity](https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/web-interface/administration/configuration-security/system-permissions/)
* [Assign vault permissions to the application identity](https://docs.devolutions.net/cloud/web-interface/administration/management/vaults/create-manage-vaults/)

When permissions have been assigned, you are ready to access Devolutions Cloud with the [Devolutions.PowerShell module](https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell/devolutions-cloud-powershell/powershell-module/) and your application identity.
