About this task

PingOne integrates with client applications through application connections that define access to PingOne resources. A worker application is a userless service application connection that can perform administrator functions. Access is encoded in the worker application’s access token, which you submit with API requests. Learn more about how PingOne manages access to applications in Applications.

You must assign the Environment Admin and Identity Data Admin roles to the worker app after you create it. Learn more in Configuring roles for a worker application.

Steps

  1. In PingOne, go to Applications → Applications.

  2. Click the icon next to Applications.
