# Application Owner ### Purpose {% embed url="" %} The Application Owner page gives business application owners a clear overview of the applications they are responsible for. It is designed to answer simple but important questions: * What is the cost of my applications? * Are there security risks related to usage or geography? * Are there renewals or expiring credentials that require action? The page combines cost insights, security indicators, and actionable assessments in one place — helping business owners maintain control, reduce risk, and optimise spend. *** ## Page Structure The Application Owner page consists of three main sections: 1. KPI Overview (three perspectives) 2. Assessments and Recommendations 3. Drilldown Tables *** ## 1. KPI Overview The KPI section provides a high-level summary across three perspectives: #### Overview and Cost Shows: Number of applications you own\ Total monthly application cost\ Monthly potential savings Use this to: Understand total financial responsibility\ Identify over-provisioned applications\ Prepare for renewals *** #### Security (Geo-Risk) Shows: Users outside home country\ Users outside home region Use this to: Identify unusual geographic usage\ Detect potential compliance risks\ Start investigation if access appears abnormal > Home decided by Application Owner usage location setting in Entra ID *** #### Business Interruption Shows: Expiring credentials (30 days)
Use this to: Prevent service disruptions\ Renew certificates and secrets in time
*** ## 2. Assessments and Recommendations The My Applications Assessment section highlights actionable findings for applications you own. Assessments are grouped into: Active\ Delegated\ Ignored *** ### Active These assessments require attention. Examples: Application has no users\ Users outside expected country\ License renewal approaching\ Expiring secret or certificate For each assessment you can: Delegate it to another responsible person\ Ignore it (if not relevant) *** ### Delegated Assessments that have been assigned to someone else. You can: See who it is delegated to\ Reactivate it\ Delegate it again *** ### Ignored Assessments that have been marked as not relevant.

Bsure assessments help application owners track usage, security, and compliance for the applications they own or manage. This assessment requires your attention.
