# Create a Devolutions Server workspace with an application key

Create a Devolutions Server workspace using an application key and secret, either through Remote Desktop Manager or a PowerShell script.

With the Devolutions.PowerShell module, it is possible to connect to a Devolutions Server instance using an [***Application key and Application Secret***](/server/web-interface/administration/user-and-security-management/applications-identities.md). 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.
3. In the next window, select the ***Devolutions Server*** team workspace, then click ***OK***.
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.
5. Click on the ***PowerShell*** tab.
6. Enter your [***Application key and Application Secret***](/server/web-interface/administration/user-and-security-management/applications-identities.md) 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.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/server/knowledge-base/how-to-articles/create-a-devolutions-server-workspace-with-an-application-key.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
