Generally, when you deploy an application, EPM System places the application in an existing application group of your choice or into the default application group.
An application group is a container for EPM System applications. For example, an application group may contain a Planning application and Oracle's Hyperion Reporting and Analysis applications. While an application can belong to only one application group, an application group can contain multiple applications.
EPM System products place their applications into their own application groups. If an EPM System product does not create its own application group, you can select an application group; for example, Default Application Group, to organize the applications. Applications that are registered with Shared Services but are not yet added to an application group are listed under the Default Application Group node in the View pane. You can provision users and groups with roles from applications listed in the Default Application Group node and then move the application to an application group without losing provisioning information. You can create custom application groups, if needed.

Note: | You must be a Shared Services Administrator or Project Manager to create and manage application groups. Shared Services Administrators can work with all registered applications; a Project Manager can work only with the applications for which that person is the provisioning manager. |
