OAuth2 Settings
The OAuth2 credentials should be used to fire the Embedded applications from third party sites, this will avoid users to enter their credentials during the chart/dashboard rendering process. To implement the SplashBI as OAuth2 authentication provider, it requires some settings to be added by administrator in SplashBI. The setting screens are accessible by administrator and they will allow admin to create OAuth2 connected apps and manage security tokens. The user can have more than one connected app, Add New App button allows admin to add new connected app to the system.
