# Applications API **(FREE)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/8160) in GitLab 10.5.
The Applications API operates on instance-wide OAuth applications for:
- [Using GitLab as an authentication provider](../integration/oauth_provider.md).
- [Allowing access to GitLab resources on a user's behalf](oauth2.md).
The Applications API cannot be used to manage group applications or applications of individual users.
NOTE:
Only administrator users can use the Applications API.
