# Create applications using the FlexiCapture REST API interface

> Create applications on the FlexiCapture Cloud REST API web portal that connect to existing cloud projects so users can run document processing tasks.

Applications in the FlexiCapture Cloud REST API interface are connected to existing projects in the FlexiCapture Cloud tenant. They make it possible for the user to create document processing tasks. The processing can then be carried out in the FlexiCapture project connected to the appropriate application.

To create applications, a user needs a FlexiCapture Cloud account with permissions for the following roles in the FlexiCapture Cloud user tenant:

* Senior Verification Operator
* External User

For more information about modifying a user's roles, see [Set up FlexiCapture Cloud account permissions](/flexi-capture/rest-api-apps-setup).

<Note>
  For a user to be able to create and use applications, the user's FlexiCapture Cloud account should not be deleted or disabled.
</Note>
