For any of the token-based methods, set the `Authorization` header to `Bearer <token>`.
### Session
When authenticating with a flow, you'll get an authenticated Session cookie, that can be used for authentication. Keep in mind that in this context, a CSRF header is also required.
### API Token
Users can create tokens to authenticate as any user with a static key, which can optionally be expiring and auto-rotate.
### JWT Token
OAuth2 clients can request the scope `goauthentik.io/api`, which allows their OAuth Access token to be used to authenticate to the API.
