  description: |-
    Authenticating via OAuth requires the following steps:
    - Have an activated account
    - [Generate] an access token for that account at `/api/v1/users/token`.
    - Make requests with the *Authorization: Bearer <token\>* header
    - Profit, depending on the role assigned to the account

    Note that the __access token is valid for 1 day__ and is given
    along with a __refresh token valid for 2 weeks__.
