OAuth2 authorization code flow: External users
Within the context of system API authentication, an external user
is a person who is known to the insurer but who is not listed as a user in the PolicyCenter
database. For PolicyCenter, these are the types of external users:
- Account holders - Insureds who want to interact with information about their accounts and policies. For example, Ray Newton, who is a policyholder and wants to verify what coverage he has.
