# Create a Devolutions Server workspace with an application key

With the Devolutions.PowerShell module, it is possible to connect to a Devolutions Server instance using an [***Application key and Application Secret***](https://docs.devolutions.net/server/web-interface/administration/security-management/applications/). You can create a Devolutions Server workspace in Remote Desktop Manager or manually using PowerShell. Follow the method that best suits your needs.

#### Method 1: Remote Desktop Manager

1. In Remote Desktop Manager, go to ***File – Workspaces***.
2. Click the ***Add a new workspace*** button.

4. In the ***General*** tab, enter a ***Name***, a ***Host***, and a ***Username*** for your new workspace. You can then click on the ***Test Connection*** button to confirm that the connection is working.

6. Enter your [***Application key and Application Secret***](https://docs.devolutions.net/server/web-interface/administration/security-management/applications/) in the ***Tenant ID*** field and the ***Password*** field respectively, then click ***OK***.

Your new Devolutions Server workspace is now created. You can now connect to your Devolutions Server and run your scripts.

#### Method 2: PowerShell

1. Using the PowerShell cmdlets, paste the following sample script:

   ```powershell
   $dsname = "DVLS PowerShell"
   $dsurl = "https<area>://your_dvls_url"
   $appkey = "your_appkey"
   $appsecret = "your_appsecret"

   $ds = New-RDMDataSource -DVLS -Name $dsname -Server $dsurl -ScriptingTenantID $appkey -ScriptingApplicationPassword $appsecret -SetDatasource -WarningAction SilentlyContinue
   Set-RDMDataSource $ds
   Set-RDMCurrentDataSource $ds
   ```
2. Replace the variable values with your own, then run the script.

Your new Devolutions Server workspace is now created. You can now connect to your Devolutions Server and run your scripts.
