The following code example shows how to call this function.

```
class SampleApplication : Application(), NowSDKAuthorizationProviding, DevicePermissionDelegate {

    private val nowSdkSettings = NowSDKSettings(
        instanceBaseURL = "https://instance-name.service-now.com",
        clientId = "client_id",
        user = "user"
    )

    private val coroutineScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO)

    private val nowSDKConfiguration = NowSDKConfiguration(this, this, NowLogLevel.Debug)
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()

        NowSDK.configure(this, nowSDKConfiguration)
    }


    override fun requestAuthorization(
        instanceURL: URL,
        callback: Consumer<List<AuthorizationToken>?>
    ) {
        coroutineScope.launch {
            when {
                nowSdkSettings.user.isNullOrBlank().not() -> authorizeWithJWT(
                    callback = callback,
                    user = nowSdkSettings.user,
                    clientId = nowSdkSettings.clientId
                )

                else -> authorizeWithGuest(callback = callback)
            }
        }
    }

    override fun canRequestPermission(permission: DevicePermission): Boolean {
        return true
