# Managing applications
<a name="create-app"></a>

 This section describes how to create and manage applications in AppRegistry. After you define an application by specifying its name, description, and share configuration, you can perform the following actions: 
+  Associate resources with the application. For more information, see [Managing application definitions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/associate-resource.html). 
+  Associate attribute groups with the application. For more information, see [Managing attribute groups](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/associate-attributes.html). 
+  Associate tags with the application. For more information, see [Managing tags](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/add-tags.html). 
+  Share the application with accounts, organizations, and organizational units. For more information, see [Sharing resources with accounts in your organization](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/sharing-definitions.html). 

**Note**  
 When you create an application, AppRegistry vends an AWS user tag called the `awsApplication` tag. The `awsApplication` tag identifies resources associated with an application. For more information, see [the `awsApplication` tag](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/servicecatalog/latest/arguide/overview-appreg.html#ar-user-tags).
