What is the first step to tag specific users in a web application with Dynatrace?

The first step to tag specific users in a web application with Dynatrace involves accessing application settings. This is crucial because before any user tagging can take place, the application must be properly configured within Dynatrace to track users in the context of their interactions with the web app.

By editing application settings, you can enable specific features related to user monitoring, such as session replay or user action tracking. These features are foundational, allowing you to gather the data necessary to identify and tag users based on their behaviors and interactions. Proper configuration ensures that all relevant data points are captured, which is essential for creating meaningful tags.

Upon establishing the proper application settings, subsequent actions—like modifying user roles or utilizing plugins—would build on this foundational step. Therefore, focusing first on editing application settings allows for a structured approach to effectively tag and track user interactions within your web application.
