Configure OAuth server using Client credentials grant type

The Client credentials grant type is suitable for cases where the client application needs to access resources or call functions in the resource server, which are not related to a specific resource owner.

The client can request an access token using only its client credentials, which means the client requests access to the protected resources under its control or those of another resource owner that has previously engaged with the authorization server.

Navigate to Integration > OAuth servers.

The OAuth servers page appears.
Click New.

The New OAuth server configuration dialog box is displayed. By default, the General tab is open.
