If you want your app to take actions on behalf of itself, rather than a user, you should use an installation access token for authentication. This type of request is sometimes called "server-to-server," and it means that the app will be limited by the permissions that have been given to the app. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/apps/creating-github-apps/authenticating-with-a-github-app/authenticating-as-a-github-app-installation)."
Some examples of automations you could create with a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}, where the app acts on its own behalf, include:
* A {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} that uses webhooks to react to an event given a certain set of criteria. {% ifversion pat-v2 %}For example, you could create an automation around the REST API endpoints for [reviewing requests for {% data variables.product.pat_v2 %}](/rest/orgs/personal-access-tokens?apiVersion=2022-11-28#review-requests-to-access-organization-resources-with-fine-grained-personal-access-tokens) that approves a request given a certain policy.{% else %}For example, you could create an automation that uses [the REST API endpoints for labels](/rest/issues/labels) to add a label to each new issue created in a repository, given a certain set of criteria.{% endif %}
* A {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} that uses webhooks to react to an event given a certain set of criteria. For example, you could create an automation around the REST API endpoints for [reviewing requests for {% data variables.product.pat_v2 %}](/rest/orgs/personal-access-tokens?apiVersion=2022-11-28#review-requests-to-access-organization-resources-with-fine-grained-personal-access-tokens) that approves a request given a certain policy.
* A {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} that helps repository contributors. For example, the app could post helpful resources after a contributor creates a pull request or makes a comment.
* A {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} that generates short-lived tokens to give to other CI/CD tools, or to pull information from a repository.
