Since "Basic Auth" has been marked as deprecatedin Business Central SaaS, we have not a valid option to change it.

Microsoft says that we should use OAuth. However, the only "Grant_type" that is manage in the documentation is "Authoritation_code". It works fine but, it needs user interact so no daemon apps are supported.
I've tried to setup a "client credentials" grant_type without suceed. Is it even posible?

There is also something called "Automation APIs". These ones can be called as OAuth "client credentials" but there are precreated APIs for administration propouses and we can't create custom ones. Is this right?

I spent a lot of time with this problem and I can't see the solution. Is there something that I am missing?
