1. In the navigation filter, enter <kbd class="ph userinput">sys_properties.list</kbd>.  
   The entire list of properties in the System Properties \[sys_properties\] table appears.
2. Select New.
3. On the form, fill the following fields.  
   {#create-cc-sys-prop__table_tqn_cfv_s1b__entry__2}

   | Field | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | Name of the property you're creating. In this case, <kbd class="ph userinput">glide.oauth.inbound.client.credential.grant_type.enabled</kbd>. |
   | Description | Type a brief, descriptive phrase describing the function of the property. |
   | Type | Select the appropriate data type from the list. In this case, <kbd class="ph userinput">true| false</kbd>. |
   | Value | Set the desired value for the property. In this case, <kbd class="ph userinput">true</kbd> to enable the client credentials grant type for OAuth inbound integrations. |

   {#create-cc-sys-prop__table_tqn_cfv_s1b}  
   Note:  
   Other fields in the form such as Choices, Ignore cache, Private, Read roles, and Write roles can be configured according to your requirements.
4. Select Submit.  
   Note:  
   If the Ignore cache check box is selected, the system flushes the server cache when the parameter is changed.

   Next, you must create an OAuth client (OAuth API endpoint for external client) and add OAuth Application User field to the OAuth client record.
