# Anypoint Platform Connected Apps for Developers

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Use Anypoint Platform Connected Apps to delegate access to applications, build CI/CD pipelines, and
extend platform functionality using OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. Developers can allow users to sign
in with Anypoint Platform and control client access through an application allowlist.

Anypoint Platform provides a
[comprehensive set of APIs](https://dev-portal.mulesoft.com/apis/access-management.html) to extend
functionality.

The Connected Apps feature enables you to:

- Delegate access to applications that use APIs to interact with Anypoint Platform programmatically.

- Build CI/CD pipelines or productize additional third-party use cases on top of Anypoint Platform.

- Enable or disable clients and view client usage. For example, you can see how many organizations
  are using the app and how many users have access.

## Authentication

The Connected Apps feature supports OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, so make sure your app can use
tokens to request access to user data.

See the information in the OpenID configuration
[discovery endpoint](https://anypoint.mulesoft.com/accounts/api/v2/oauth2/.well-known/openid-configuration)
to find the supported OpenID Connect capabilities.

To make the authentication experience consistent for end users, third-party developers with their
own websites or web apps can allow users to sign in using the **Sign in with Anypoint Platform**
option.

## Application Allowlist

Organization administrators can enable an allowlist to control which apps can access the
organization’s user data.

When your app is added to an allowlist, only the set of scopes associated with the app are reviewed
and approved by the administrator. If you add new scopes to your app later, you’re unable to request
those scopes from users until the admin reapproves your app. Existing authorizations and new
authorizations using the previously allowlisted set of scopes continue to work.

For more information, see
[connected apps for administrators](https://docs.mulesoft.com/access-management/connected-apps-org-admin#application-allowlist-admin).
