# Admin Console: the Apps Tab

Tutorial·8 January 2016·4 min 37 sec

An overview of the Apps tab, where applications are registered and issued the API keys they use to authenticate. Part of the Admin Console series.

**Recorded in 2016.** The concepts still apply, but the interface shown predates the current DreamFactory release. The Admin Console has since been redesigned — see [Introducing the Redesigned DreamFactory Interface](https://www.dreamfactory.com/videos/new-admin-ui) for what changed.

## What you’ll learn
