    notes: >-
      User is redirected to consent and select an organization; authorization code is
      short-lived (expires in ~30-50 seconds) and exchanged for access + refresh tokens.
      Redirect URIs must be whitelisted by Candis. Desktop/limited-webserver clients use
      the out-of-band redirect https://my.candis.io/authentication_code.
  - flow: clientCredentials
    tokenUrl: https://id.my.candis.io/auth/realms/candis/protocol/openid-connect/token
    notes: Supported by the authorization server for service accounts (service_account scope).
