# Setting up an OAuth with GitHub

You can create and register an OAuth App under your personal account or under any organization you have administrative access to. While creating your OAuth app, remember to protect your privacy by only using information you consider public.

**Note:** A user or organization can own up to 100 OAuth apps.
