notes: >-
  Access to OpenPages service instances is controlled by IBM Cloud Identity and
  Access Management (IAM); further, finer-grained access is managed within the
  OpenPages application itself. Calls to the OpenPages REST API require the
  caller to hold the OpenPages "User" service access role (crn service role
  GRCUser) and to present an IAM bearer access token. IAM API keys are exchanged
  for bearer tokens at the IBM Cloud IAM token endpoint. Users and groups are
  synchronized from IBM Cloud IAM into OpenPages; identities can be federated.
