You can install integrations in your personal account or organizations you own. You can also install {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} from a third-party in a specific repository where you have admin permissions or which is owned by your organization.

|
## Differences between {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %}
|
|
|
|
Integrations can be {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %}, {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %}, or anything that utilizes {% ifversion fpt or ghec %}{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}{% else %}{% data variables.product.product_name %}{% endif %} APIs or webhooks.
|
|
|
|
{% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} offer granular permissions and request access to only what the app needs. {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} also offer specific user-level permissions that each user must authorize individually when an app is installed or when the integrator changes the permissions requested by the app.
|

You can install a preconfigured {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %}, if the integrators or app creators have created their app with the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} manifest flow. For information about how to run your {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} with automated configuration, contact the integrator or app creator.
|
|
|
|
You can create a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} with simplified configuration if you build your app with Probot. For more information, see the [Probot docs](https://probot.github.io/docs/) site.

## Discovering integrations in {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}
|
|
|
|
You can find an integration to install or publish your own integration in {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}.
|
|
|
|
[{% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}](https://github.com/marketplace) contains {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %}. For more information on finding an integration or creating your own integration, see "[About {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}](/articles/about-github-marketplace)."
|
|
|
|
## Integrations purchased directly from integrators
|
|
|
|
You can also purchase some integrations directly from integrators. As an organization member, if you find a {% data variables.product.prodname_github_app %} that you'd like to use, you can request that an organization approve and install the app for the organization.
|
|
|
|
If you have admin permissions for all organization-owned repositories the app is installed on, you can install {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} with repository-level permissions without having to ask an organization owner to approve the app. When an integrator changes an app's permissions, if the permissions are for a repository only, organization owners and people with admin permissions to a repository with that app installed can review and accept the new permissions.
