Client Credentials Grant

The Client Credentials Grant is a way for applications to securely access resources on a server without user involvement. It’s commonly used when an application needs to authenticate itself, rather than a user. The application sends its own credentials (like a username and password) to the server, which then verifies them and issues a token. This token allows the application to make requests and access data, ensuring that only authorized applications can do so. It’s a key part of modern security in web services and helps protect sensitive information.
