Client Credentials in Microsoft Entra External ID

We are pleased to announce the general availability of client credentials in Entra External ID. The OAuth 2.0 client credentials grant flow permits a web service (confidential client) to use its own credentials, instead of impersonating a user, to authenticate when calling another web service. Permissions are granted directly to the application itself by an administrator.
