Create a new application object. This API can also create an agentIdentityBlueprint object when the @odata.type property is set to #microsoft.graph.agentIdentityBlueprint.
Important
Do not share application client IDs (appId) in API documentation or code samples.
[!INCLUDE national-cloud-support]
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.

POST /applications| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Authorization | Bearer {token}. Required. Learn more about authentication and authorization. |
| Content-Type | application/json. Required. |
In the request body, supply a JSON representation of application object. The request body must contain displayName, which is a required property. To create an agentIdentityBlueprint, also set the @odata.type property to #microsoft.graph.agentIdentityBlueprint.
You can optionally set the managerApplications property when creating an agentIdentityBlueprint. This property is only supported on agent identity blueprint objects. Setting managerApplications on non-agent-blueprint applications returns a 400 Bad Request error. Only Microsoft first-party application IDs can be added as managers; adding a third-party application returns a 400 Bad Request error. The maximum allowed is 10 manager applications; exceeding this limit returns a 400 Bad Request error.
If successful, this method returns 201 Created response code and an application or agentIdentityBlueprint object in the response body.
The following example shows a request.
