# 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://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/api/2.23/getting-started/how-to-authenticate-to-the-api) and use it within subsequent API calls.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

* All clusters in the tenant must be version 2.20 and onward.
* The token obtained through user applications assumes the [roles and permissions](/self-hosted/2.23/infrastructure-setup/authentication/roles.md) of the user.
  {% endhint %}

## Creating Applications

To create an application:

1. Click the user avatar at the top right corner, then select **Settings**
2. Click **+APPLICATION**
3. Enter the application’s **name**
4. Click **CREATE**
5. Copy the **Client ID** and **Client secret** and store securely
6. Click **DONE**

You can create up to 20 user applications.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

The client secret is visible only at the time of creation. It cannot be recovered but can be regenerated.
{% endhint %}

## Regenerating a Client Secret

To regenerate a client secret:

1. Locate the application you want to regenerate its client secret
2. Click **Regenerate client secret**
3. Click **REGENERATE**
4. Copy the **New client secret** and store it securely
5. Click **DONE**

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important**

Regenerating a client secret revokes the previous one.
{% endhint %}

## Deleting an Application

1. Locate the application you want to delete
2. Click on the trash icon
3. On the dialog, click **DELETE** to confirm

## Using API

Go to the [User Applications](https://run-ai-docs.nvidia.com/api/2.23/authentication-and-authorization/user-applications) API reference to view the available actions.
