awesome explanation - why JWT to be used and not client credential flow.
In summary-
1. O Auth Client Credential flow to be used when Integration user can search or update data in target system.
2. JWT bearer token flow to be used when data to be searched or updated by a specific user (by system) without the user to login explicitly by providing credentials.
