Viewing an App

See everything about an app — who has access, how it's configured, what it costs, and how SSO is set up.

Overview​

The app detail page is where you go to understand an application's full footprint:

  • "Who has access to this app and through which groups?"
  • "What does this subscription cost and when does it renew?"
  • "How is SSO configured?"
  • "Who owns this app?"

Click any app name in the App Management list to open it.

The Details Tab​

Shows the app's basic information:

  • App name — Display name across ShiftControl and the employee portal
  • Primary admin — Person responsible for day-to-day management
  • Budget owner — Person responsible for costs and renewals
  • Owning department — Which department owns this app
  • Description — Visible to employees in their app dashboard
  • Bookmark URL — (Bookmarks only) Where users are sent when they click the app

The Subscription Tab​

Shows plan details and costs that feed into the App Spend Dashboard:

  • Plan duration, billing cycle, and renewal date
  • Per-user or flat-rate cost
  • Platform fees and notes

This is where you check before renewal conversations — see exactly what you're paying and when the charge hits.

The Assignments Tab​

Shows who has access and how:

  • Groups sub-tab — Which groups are assigned to this app. Every member of those groups has access.
  • Individual sub-tab — Users assigned directly, outside of any group.

Context Menu Actions​

Click the ⋮ menu on any app row in the App Management list:

  • Edit — Open the app for editing
  • Delete — Remove the app from ShiftControl (disabled for the ShiftControl app itself)

Bulk actions: Select multiple apps and choose Delete to remove them in bulk.

Common Scenarios​

Preparing for a renewal negotiation​

Open the app, check the Subscription tab for the current cost and renewal date. Check Assignments > Groups to see how many people actually have access. Cross-reference with usage data to build your negotiation case.

Investigating why someone has access​

Open the app, check the Assignments tab. If access is group-based, click into the group to understand its membership rules. If it's an individual assignment, you can see who added it.

Verifying SSO is configured correctly​

Open the app, go to the SSO tab. Verify the IdP URL, certificate, and assertion settings match what the vendor expects.
