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.
• Producers - Producers who want to view or edit accounts, jobs, or policies for a policyholder. For example, Karen Egerston, who is a producer for Ray Newton's policy and wants to update his personal auto policy.
