Client Credentials

Use the OAuth client credentials grant type for Inbound Integrations from a third party OAuth client to the ServiceNow® platform.

The administrators can use the client credential (CC) grant type to enable integration from a third party OAuth client to the ServiceNow platform.

Inbound client credentials grant type is a capability that can be controlled through a system property. By default the system property is false.

To use the client credentials grant type, you must perform the following steps:

  • Create the glide.oauth.inbound.client.credential.grant_type.enabled system property.
  • Add the OAuth Application User field to the OAuth Entity form.
