Trusted Application Authorization Flow
The trusted application flow can only be used if your application has a trust relationship with the user and no other flow can work for your application. For example, you can use trusted app flow if you have a highly privileged desktop application and user wants to give your application explicit access to all user data by providing you with user login and password. This flow is not enabled by default. If you want to use this flow, please email us and after we review your request we will make a decision on granting you the flow access.
