In most cases, applications are authorized when you first access them (see What is Application Authorization?). However, some web services are designed to be accessed by command line tools or GUI tools other than web browsers, and in this case you may need to authorize the application before using it. This can be done easily through the Earthdata Login GUI. The first step is to select the 'My Applications' tab.

This shows the parts of your user profile that will be provided to the application. You name, username, and email address are always provided and cannot be disabled. The country, user type, affiliation, and study area (if set) will also be provided by default. For pre-authorization, we recommend leaving these at the default settings. If you know that the application you are pre-authorizing does not request some information, you can uncheck it.

Clicking like an End User License agreement or Custom user attributes for the application.   This page only shows up for applications that are configured with a  'EULA' or 'Custom User Attributes'.  Please provide the required information and click  on the green 'AUTHORIZE' button will now authorize that application!!
