  description: >-
    The Airbyte public API authenticates with the OAuth 2.0 client_credentials
    grant. Create an Application in the Airbyte UI (User settings > Applications)
    to obtain a client_id and client_secret, then POST them with
    grant_type=client_credentials to the token endpoint. The returned access
    token expires after 15 minutes and is sent as an
    'Authorization: Bearer <token>' header. The application represents the
    creating user and inherits their permissions.
notes: >-
  The harvested OpenAPI (openapi/airbyte-openapi.yml) declares no
  securitySchemes, so this profile is captured from the docs and the OIDC
  discovery document rather than derived. Self-managed/Enterprise deployments
  additionally support SSO (OIDC/SAML) and RBAC at the platform level.
