App authentication is a type of authentication that grants a short-lived access token based on an OAuth 2.0 client ID and client secret, authorizing an application to access ArcGIS services and portal items. This workflow uses the OAuth2.0 authorization protocol with a client grant type to secure client login. The access token granted by app credential authentication is associated with a developer's ArcGIS account and can only be used to access location services.
