Access Oauth2 for web app (joomla)

[djvmax]

Hi, I'm a developer and I'm making a module in joomla to integrate Canvas API with the extension Events Booking, the idea is this: after payment run a trigger to create the registration of the person in the cource in canvas. My problem now is when I try to generate the Oauth2 token because always ask for credentials to make the authorization and I just registering in joomla a new student for this reason I need a way where I can create the Oauth2 token without this check with the student or I can insert in the call a parameter to pass this information. I cannot create a user for each student and send because this process runing just when the person is register in joomla. Do you have a way to do this process with the developer key and without the authorization credentials check??

If I've followed correctly, this sounds more like a system-type tool.

A fairly standard approach in this case is to create a dedicated user, log in as them, and generate an access token.

Or to be more secure you could create a scoped developer key with just the permissions you need, go through the OAuth process to get the access and refresh tokens, and give the refresh token to your application.
