Configuring a Unifier Integration User for Open Authentication

You can configure integration users for REST API to authenticate with Open Authentication (OAuth)

Integration user accounts that connect to the Unifier REST API, can authenticate with basic authentication or Open Authorization (OAuth).

      For example $$UnifierRESTUser.

   2. Assign a User Type.
