 ## Permissions
 There are two levels of users with permissions for adding and editing Applications: users with the Create Applications permission and Global Administrators.

 ### Global Administrators
-In addition to the access granted to users with the Create Applications permission, Global Administrators have access to the overall Portfolio and Application administration interface at **[Administration > Configuration > Portfolios](/#sonarqube-admin#/admin/extension/governance/views_console)**.

From this page, they can create and edit Applications. 
 
 Global Administrators also have access to the Projects Management page at **[Administration > Projects > Management](/#sonarqube-admin#/admin/projects_management)**. Changing the selection mechanism on this page to “Portfolios” or “Applications” lets you manage the Portfolios or Applications of your SonarQube instance. The dropdown menu to the right of each item lets you edit permissions, apply Permission Templates, or restore access to a Portfolio or Application.

 By default, Applications are queued to be recalculated after each analysis of an included project. For each relevant Application, a “Background Task” is created, and you can follow the progress on each in the **[Administration > Projects > Background Tasks](/#sonarqube-admin#/admin/background_tasks)** by looking at the logs available for each item.
 
 ## Reindexing
-During Elasticsearch reindexing due to disaster recovery or upgrading, Applications will become available after each Application is indexed.

 ## Using Applications
 
-An Application is an aggregation of projects into a synthetic project. Assume you have a set of projects which has been split for technical reasons, but which shares a lifecycle; they interact directly in production and are always released together. With an Application, they can be treated as a single entity in {instance} with a unified Project Homepage, Issues list, Measures space, and most importantly: Quality Gate.

 ## Application Setup
 
-Applications are created and edited in the global Portfolio administration interface: **Administration > Configuration > Portfolios**. For more, see [Managing Applications](/project-administration/managing-applications/). Applications must be created initially by a user with global administration rights, but after set-up, administration of an individual Application can be delegated to other users.

 ### Populating Application Data
 
-An Application is automatically re-calculated after each analysis of one of its projects. If you want immediate (re)calculation, a user with administration rights on the Application can use the **Recompute** button in the Application-level **Application Settings > Edit Definition** interface. The global Portfolio administration interface: **Administration > Configuration > Portfolios** offers the ability to queue re-computation of all Applications and Portfolios at once.
