# System applications

PingOne includes the following system applications that are part of the PingOne platform:

* **PingOne Admin Console**: The application from which administrators manage the environment's configuration and identities.

* **PingOne Application Portal**: Shows the applications accessible to end users through single sign-on (SSO) based on their group memberships. Learn more in [Configuring the application portal](p1_configuring_the_application_portal.html).

* **PingOne Self-Service - MyAccount**: Manage access and determine what information appears to end users in the Self Service portal (MyAccount). Learn more in [Self Service](../user_experience/p1_self_service.html).

You can find the system applications on the **Applications** page. Learn more in [Application access control](p1_application_access_control.html).

## Authentication policies

You can assign sign-on policies to these system applications to control who can access them. Learn more about setting up an authentication policy for the Self Service portal in [Setting up end-user authentication for the Self Service portal](../user_experience/p1_setting_up_authentication_self_service.html).

|   | The **PingOne Admin Console** application uses a system policy configured in **Settings > Administrator Security** instead of the default policy. You can't assign a different policy to the admin console. Learn more in [Administrator security](../settings/p1_administrator_security.html). |

## Disabling system applications

You can disable the Self Service application, but not the admin console. If you disable the Self Service application, administrators can still sign on to it, but end users can't.

You can't disable the Self Service application using the **Enable** toggle for the application. Instead, go to the application details and select **Must have admin role**. Learn more in [Application access control](p1_application_access_control.html).
