Getting a users followed and followers list on Instagram

So I'm planning to make an analytics app based using Instagrams API. But i have a quick question since I'm sort of confused on this. On Instagrams documentation i see the following: 

follower_list - to read the list of followers and followed-by users (applications no longer accepted)

So let's say the user using my app has authenticated.

Does the above mean that I can't access their, the users, followers and followed lists?

Or does this mean that I can't access the list of "followers" and "followed" other then the authenticated user? (ie the lists of another user that the authenticated user may be following)

Hopefully this makes sense.

I saw the following question posted, but i just want to be sure.
Instagram API - How can I retrieve the list of people a user is following on Instagram

Thanks

As of Oct 1 2017, Instagram is no longer approving following_list permission, so you cannot access authenticated or any user's followers/following. No other solution using official APIs
