note: 'Bynder documents exactly one authorization protocol: "OAuth 2.0 using an Authorization
  Header including a bearer access token in JWT format". Every host is the customer''s own
  portal domain, so there is no shared authorization server and no RFC 8414 discovery document
  — /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server returns 404 on every Bynder host probed. The permanentToken
  apiKey scheme declared alongside OAuth2 in 25 of the published definitions is Bynder''s
  long-lived token: it carries no scopes and inherits the issuing user''s full security profile.'
authorization_model: two-layer
authorization_note: Scopes alone do not authorize a call. Bynder grants only the intersection
  of the requested scopes and the user's permissions, and then separately enforces named security
  roles (MEDIAHIGHRES, ARCHIVEDOWNLOAD, DOWNLOADWATERMARK, KEYVISUALSDOWNLOAD, PERMISSIONMANAGEMENT,
  'Manage Webhooks configurations'). A 403 on a call whose scope you hold means the security
  profile is missing the role.
