 You can launch multiple applications by choosing the AWS account or application tab in the portal. The presence of application icons in your AWS access portal means that an administrator from your company has granted you access to those AWS accounts or applications. It also means that you can access all these accounts or applications from the AWS access portal without additional sign-in prompts. 

## How to use the AWS access portal
<a name="how-to-use-access-portal"></a>

To use the AWS access portal:

1. **Get your portal URL** from your administrator (typically looks like `https://your-company.awsapps.com/start`).

1. **Sign in** using the credentials provided by your administrator.

1. **Choose the accounts and applications** in your portal that you want to access.

Your administrator controls what you see in the portal based on your role and permissions. Contact your administrator to request additional access in the these situations:
+ You do not see an AWS account or application that you need to access.
+ The access that you have to a given account or application isn't what you expected.
