  "DailyPay adheres to the OAuth 2.0 RFC 6749 and OpenID Connect specifications." Two token
  acquisition paths are supported: authorization code (when the operation acts on behalf of an
  employee and requires their consent) and client credentials (for server-to-server operations such
  as reading connected employer organizations).

  note: >-
    DailyPay supports a "trust relationship" configuration in which the partner's own IdP asserts
    the user, reducing the consent burden when embedding Elements. Partners may supply a JWKS or
    JWKS URL so DailyPay can verify signed OIDC requests.

  process: >-
    A DailyPay contact registers the application. The partner supplies a callback URL for the
    authorization-code flow, links to its privacy policy and terms of service, and optionally a
    logo for the consent screen and a JWKS for signed OIDC requests. DailyPay returns client_id,
    client_secret (when applicable), the permitted scope list, and the registered redirect_uri.
