Overview#
The Client Credentials Grant (or other forms of client authentication) can be used as an
Authorization Grant when the authorization scope is limited to the protected resources under the control of the
OAuth Client, or to protected resources previously arranged with the
Authorization Server.
OAuth Client credentials are used as an
Authorization Grant typically when the client is acting on its own behalf (the client is also the
Resource Owner) or is requesting access to protected resources based on an authorization previously arranged with the
Authorization Server.
