[keycloak-user] Access Token And PRT(request party token), which one should I use to access the resource protected by keycloak

[Pedro Igor Silva]

Hi,

If your resources are protected with a policy enforcer you should send a
RPT. This token is pretty much an access token with an additional claim
holding the permissions.

Regards.
