Get access token for organization context

[tyf]

Hi there @larsf96!

@larsf96

As far as I know, it’s only possible to issue access tokens that have a user subject. We have a use case, where we transfer organization related data between 2 systems.

While I’m not positive it will suit your specific use case, it sounds like you might be interested in a Machine to Machine flow which is designed specifically for a scenario between systems where there is no user involved.

Regarding token renewal in a M2M flow, please take a look at the following thread:

Correct way to handle M2M token renewal?

Hi, We currently have a backend service that talks to another backend service with secure APIs. From our understanding of the docs, this is exactly what M2M tokens are meant for which use the client-credentials flow. However, we’re a bit at a loss on how to best handle the renewal of such tokens when they expire. We CANNOT use refresh tokens because they are not obtainable in the client-credentials flow, so what’s the best approach then?

Hope this helps!
