App credential authentication is a type of authentication that grants a short-lived access token based on a set of application credentials, authorizing an application to access location services on behalf of a developer. 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.
