Generate Nuxeo user token to be used in third party application

[Mouad_Bichouari]

Hello, I have an application that should use Nuxeo API to list documents/rename them.. The issue here is that Nuxeo and my application have distinct user directories (and should stay that way..). My question is: Does Nuxeo expose a UI component (pop up for example..) for the user to type its credentials and pass me the token so that I can do some work on his behalf through Nuxeo API? If not I'm open to any suggestion that would solve my issue :) Thanks

Nuxeo implements OAuth2 - Authorization Code Grant Type https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/using-oauth2/, maybe it can help you

The user from your application already exists in the nuxeo database?

Yes but with a different pseudo and might have other ones in several instances

In oauth2, we have four roles
