# Application Settings for Your Enterprise

<div className="article_labels_list" style={{display: 'none'}} dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: "Admin Console , Applications , Admin , Enterprise Settings , Instructions , Article , New , Product Utilization , Instruction"}} />

The **Integrations** section of the admin console enables you to

* control which applications your managed account holders are permitted to use, and
* manage custom apps in your enterprise.

If you disable an application on this page, account holders are unable to add the application to their Box accounts, and cannot use the application if the account holder previously installed it.
