# User Applications

This article explains the procedure to create your own user applications.

Applications are used for API integrations with NVIDIA Run:ai. An application contains a client ID and a client secret. With the client credentials, you can obtain a token as detailed in [API authentication](https://app.gitbook.com/s/b5QLzc5pV7wpXz3CDYyp/getting-started/how-to-authenticate-to-the-api) and use it within subsequent API calls.

**Note**s

* All clusters in the tenant must be version 2.20 and onward.
* The token obtained through user applications assumes the [roles and permissions](https://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/self-hosted/2.21/infrastructure-setup/authentication/roles) of the user.
  {% endhint %}

## Creating an Application

To create an application:

1. Click the user avatar at the top right corner, then select **Settings**

## Regenerating a Client Secret

To regenerate a client secret:
