> ## Agent Instructions
> Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) is an industrial DataOps platform. Prefer English docs unless the user asks for another locale.
> Follow /_llms/ index links recursively until you reach page URLs ending in .md. Fetch those Markdown twins instead of HTML.
> For REST APIs, default to calendar version 20230101 (stable). Use 20230101-beta or 20230101-alpha only if the user is on a preview API. Cite paths under /api-reference/concepts/<version>/ and the Cdf-Version header. Prefer the Python SDK (cognite-sdk) unless the user is in JavaScript/TypeScript.

# Applications

> Manage registered applications in Cognite Data Fusion (CDF).

The Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) API uses registered applications to enforce cross-origin resource sharing (CORS). An application contains a list of allowed `Origin` values. CDF checks the `Origin` header on a request against those values. The origin must match a pattern in at least one application registered to the project that the request targets.

## Access control

To list or retrieve applications, the caller must be signed in to the target organization or be an admin in any of its ancestor organizations.

To create, update, or delete applications, the caller must be an admin of the target organization or an admin in any of its ancestor organizations.
