 ## Overview
 
-This guide explains how to create and use client credentials for automating access to F5 Application Delivery Service APIs. Client credentials enable automation tools such as CI/CD pipelines to manage certain F5 ADS resources without requiring user login.
+This guide explains how to create and use client credentials for automating access to F5 Application Delivery Service. Client credentials are currently supported for use with the F5 ADS Terraform provider, which uses them to manage certain F5 ADS resources without requiring user login.
 
 Client credentials work the same way regardless of which cloud your F5 ADS organization is associated with.
 
-To authenticate, you exchange your client credentials (client ID and secret) for a short-lived access token from the F5 ADS token endpoint. This access token is then used in the Authorization header of your API requests. Access tokens have limited validity, after which you'll need to request a new one using the same credentials.

 Client credentials are scoped to an organization and expire after a set period (up to 1 year, 6 months recommended).

-### Exchange credentials for an access token
-
-Use the client credentials to obtain an access token from the token endpoint.
-
-**Endpoint**: `POST https://<GEO>.api.nginxaas.net/api/v1/auth/token`
-
-**Example using cURL**:
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST "https://<GEO>.api.nginxaas.net/api/v1/auth/token" \
-  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-  -d '{
-    "client_id": "<CLIENT_ID>",
-    "client_secret": "<CLIENT_SECRET>",
-    "grant_type": "client_credentials"
-  }'
-```
-
-**Response**:
-
-```json
-{
-  "access_token": "<ACCESS_TOKEN>",
-  "token_type": "Bearer",
-  "expires_in": 3600
-}
-```
-
-### Use the access token
-
-Include the access token in the Authorization header when making API requests.
-
-**Example**:
-
-```bash
-curl -X GET "https://<GEO>.api.nginxaas.net/api/v1/deployments" \
-  -H "Authorization: Bearer <ACCESS_TOKEN>"
-```
-
-### Access token validity
-
-- **Duration**: Access tokens are valid for 1 hour from issuance
-- **Reauthentication**: When a token expires, request a new one using the same client credentials, if the client credentials are still active
-- **Scope**: Tokens are also scoped to the organization associated with the client credentials

-### Forbidden APIs
-
-Client credentials can only access the Certificates, Configs, and Deployments APIs. Attempting to access any other API with client credentials returns a `403 Forbidden` response. In this case:
-
-- Verify you are using the correct API endpoint
-- Ensure the API is one of the supported resources
