### Overview

A User App is a type of API app that uses fabric Identity to authenticate end users. A User App relies on the login page that fabric Identity hosts in order for end users to log in. It’s suitable for e-commerce apps that direct their authentication and authorization needs to fabric Identity. Visit the [Concepts page](https://developer.fabric.inc/v3/getting-started/authentication-v3/concepts) to learn more about User Apps.
