  2. Create an Application with a staff user and Client Credentials as Authorization grant type.

    Note

    Why do we need a staff user? Because we use those credentials to create, edit, and delete enrollments, which are staff operations.

  4. Test the credentials by clicking Save Changes and Generate JWT Token.

Note

If you do not have credentials to enter the Django Admin, you need to contact an operator of your Open edX instance to provide you the client id and client secret of an Application with Client Credentials as Authorization grant type and staff user.
