  notes: >-
    OAuth 2.0 client-credentials only. Obtain a Client ID and Client Secret from User Settings >
    OAuth (Create New Token > API Access) in the Elementum app; the secret is shown once. Exchange
    them at the token endpoint using HTTP Basic Auth (client_id:client_secret, base64) with
    grant_type=client_credentials, or a JSON/form body carrying client_id + client_secret +
    grant_type. The returned Bearer access token is sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` and
    expires after 24 hours. Service Accounts scope what an automation or agent token can do via
    role-based permissions and data-access policies (no OAuth scope strings). US and EU regions.
