Applications API

Introduced in GitLab 10.5.

The Applications API operates on instance-wide OAuth applications for:

• Using GitLab as an authentication provider.
• Allowing access to GitLab resources on a user's behalf.

The Applications API cannot be used to manage group applications or applications of individual users.

NOTE: Only administrator users can use the Applications API.
