Hello, What is the appropriate way of managing authentication for dozens of non-interactive clients, which are not directly associated with users? For example, is there a way to administrate and group non-interactive clients that use client credentials flow? The closest available [tutorial](https://auth0.com/docs/tutorials/authenticating-a-tessel-device) I found uses the resource owner password credentials flow; however, this seems inappropriate because it’s mimicking a user. We see [here](https://auth0.com/docs/extensions/authorization-extension/v2) that Groups are supported for all clients except the non-interactive ones. [Device credentials](https://auth0.com/docs/api/management/v2#!/Device_Credentials/get_device_credentials) are not first class citizens, relying instead on a user profile. Thank you so much for any advice on the correct way to proceed with authentication of dozens of non-interactive clients. ---
