(C) Docusign JSON Web Token (JWT) Grant

Demonstrates how to obtain an access token using the JSON Web Token (JWT) Grant. This is good for service integrations where authorization and authentication is automated and cannot have interactive Docusign account owner interaction. Consent for the access is obtained beforehand in various ways. See Obtaining Consent.
