Is it possible to use Gitlab as a service provider

I know it can be logged into gitlab with external providers like github, but I was wondering if it could be used to authenticate users from my application.

Is there an oauth endpoint that I can use.

This should be possible as the Oauth proposal for a third party app seems to have been completed by GitLab 7.7 ( which should be released )

It would be nice to have an oauth authentication system with app management like Github.

     

If this feature appears in Gitlab, developers will be able to create many third-party applications such as Travis-CI or Scrutinizer that can interact directly with a Gitlab Connect system like Github or Bitbucket.

     

We also need to manage the authorization scope (view / edit profile, group access, project access, etc.).

No, it is not. Currently, the only supported scope is api

that gives the authentication client full access to everything in the username. See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/22323 for progress tracking.
