Category

Categories serve two purposes:

• To manage access – Let Apps belonging to a category to be accessed by authorized identities specified in the policies attached to the category
• To group applications for display purposes – Apps belonging to a category will be shown in organized list

The best practice is to create categories set for access management by attaching policies to that category. Each application should belong to a single category, and the category name should reflect its functional description or location, without including authorization-related details (e.g., "Site1-RDP", "AWS-SSH", etc).

The list of Application categories can be viewed on Settings > ZTNA > Applications page

1. New Category button: Create a new application category.
2. Category Icon: Icon of the category. Displays the first character of the category's name.
3. Category name: Shows the category name.
4. Category number: Shows the total number of applications associated with the category.
