# Add applications

You may want to create and protect more than one application if you:

* Have development, staging, and production environments
* Need separate applications per protected domain

You can add applications from **Platform Settings > Applications > Overview.** Each application you add to HUMAN has its own

Application ID

, settings, and more that you can also [manage](/applications/manage-applications) from the Console.

## Prerequisites

* Appropriate [role permissions](/applications/role-permissions) to add applications

## Add an application

1. Navigate to **Platform Settings > Applications > Overview.**
2. Click **+ Add application.**
3. Complete the following fields:
   * **Name:** The name of your application and how it will appear in the HUMAN

     Console

     .
   * **Application type:** Choose whether this application is a production or staging application. HUMAN categorizes data based on the type of each application.
   * **Policy:** Select a policy to use with this application. HUMAN creates a default policy you can use, but you can also [create your own](/applications/traffic-policy-overview) if needed.
   * **Description (optional):** Provide a description about this application.
4. Click **Add application.**

You've completed creating a new application, and it will now appear in your [Applications Overview.](#applications-overview)
