# Introduction to Application Management
Understand how to add and manage your cloud and on-premise applications through your Cymmetri Identity platform deployment. Your Cymmetri Identity deployment allows you to manage your cloud-based applications and on-premise applications from a single administration console.\
#### Adding Applications
Understand how to add the applications used by your organization to be managed in your Cymmetri Identity platform deployment. Use the FAQ to learn how to add applications to be managed in the deployment.
#### Single Sign On
Single Sign On is the process of ensuring that once an end user is logged onto the Cymmetri Identity platform, they should be able to seamlessly move their session to any of your applications managed by your Cymmetri Identity platform deployment. Use the FAQ to learn how to configure Single Sign On for your application.
#### Managing the Application Sign-On Policy
Modern IAM deployments wishing to have progressive authentication may require some critical application integrations within your deployment to perform additional authentication while performing Single Sign On for the end user. Use the FAQ to learn how to configure the Application Sign On Policy.
#### Provisioning
Provisioning refers to the process of creating, modifying, and, in general, pushing the user account information stored on the Cymmetri Identity platform to the applications managed by your Cymmetri Identity platform deployment. Use the FAQ to learn how to configure User Account Provisioning.
#### Reconciliation
Reconciliation of User accounts is a primary activity in Identity Governance, which allows for synchronisation between the user account information on the managed application and the Cymmetri Identity platform deployments, including provisioning, modifying, deprovisioning, and modifying user account attributes based on various synchronisation states. Use the FAQ to learn how to configure the Identity Reconciliation Process.
#### Assigning Application
Once an application has been added to the Cymmetri Identity platform deployment and the necessary configurations for Single Sign On, Provisioning, and Reconciliation have been performed, an application may be assigned to an individual user or to a group of users. Use the FAQ to learn how to assign an application to a user.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.cymmetri.io/lifecycle-management/application-management/getting-started/introduction-to-application-management.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
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.
