# Application Catalog and Ownership

The application catalog shows every application registered with your Kafka cluster, split by environment so permissions and resource policies map cleanly to your teams.

Drill into any service to see exactly what it owns, topics, consumer groups, and connectors, with resource policies enforcing naming conventions, partition counts, and retention. Define the same policies as code and apply them with the Conduktor CLI.

## What You'll Learn

- See every application and what it owns
- Delegate permissions by team and environment
- Enforce resource policies in the UI or as code
