JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) enable the capability to configure server-to-server API interactions between ServiceNow and external API providers without requiring any user intervention.

The JSON Web Token(JWT) bearer grant is a JSON string contains claim values which are evaluated and validated by the JWT Grant Handlers at the Authorization Server end, before issuing an access token.

Using the JWT Bearer grant type, you can configure OAuth 2.0 JWT bearer grant flow for outbound rest message.
