Creating a System App - Fabric

Overview

A System App is a type of API app that generates an access token to identify itself using a client ID and client secret. System Apps don’t use fabric Identity to authenticate end users; rather they use system-to-system communications with fabric APIs. If you are using your own identity provider, you should create a System App. Visit the Concepts page to learn more about System Apps.
