4. Click Authorize.

5. Each M2M app that accesses an API must be granted a set of permissions (or scopes) that should be granted by the authenticated user. Select the Permissions that you want to be issued as part of your application's access token. OAG requires the following permissions for the client and users:

  • read:client, write:client, update:client, delete:client

  • read:users
