The system uses UI elements to represent applications.
You can view the tree of elements that define the system's user interface in Modules -> edit a module -> User interface. To find the UI elements of applications, open the CMS -> Administration section of the tree and expand individual category elements.

Some of the UI elements representing applications have the Is global application flag enabled. Global applications can affect the entire system, and remain available for administrators even if the current site is not running.
Most global applications are only accessible by users with the Global administrator privilege level.
