    Postman collection is declared as bearer.'

notes:
- 'Tokens are self-service: the API documentation instructs developers to create an
  API token from the in-product developer settings screen at https://app.kolayik.com/settings/developer-settings.'
- No OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, mutualTLS or api-key-in-query scheme is documented
  for the public API; bearer token is the only published mechanism.
- 'Authorization is bounded by the Kolay person access type of the account the token
  belongs to (documented in the collection''s "Additional Information" section): owner
  = full read/write on all employees; manager = same as owner except adding/removing
  payment and tax details; employee = own information only. Kolay publishes no OAuth
  scope surface, so scopes/ is intentionally absent.'
