description: >-
  The only OAuth 2.0 surface TELUS documents publicly is the Insights Location API's client-
  credentials grant. TELUS does document that a `scope` parameter is sent on the token request, but
  it does not publish any scope VALUES: the documentation tells the consumer to copy
  oauth_client_id, oauth_client_secret, oauth_token_endpoint, oauth_grant_type and oauth_scope from
  the "My Account" page of the TELUS Insights Portal after onboarding. There is therefore a real
  scope parameter with a per-customer, unpublished value — recorded here as an honest empty
  registry rather than an invented one. The TELUS Health CHR Enterprise API has no scopes at all:
  it authenticates with a self-signed RS512 JWT and, per its own documentation, an API Consumer
  provides "unrestricted access to your organization's CHR data" (there is no scoping layer).

  Zero scope values are published anonymously. Do not assume a scope string — request the
  oauth_scope value with the credentials issued through the Insights Portal ticket process.

- api: TELUS Health CHR Enterprise API
  reason: >-
    Self-signed JWT bearer (RS512); authorization is all-or-nothing per API Consumer, not scoped.
