Node Authorization

Client applications (in this case Webex Connect ) are required to provide a valid access token for using various Webex Engage APIs. The access token is generated using the authorization details configured within the ‘Node Runtime Authorization’ field that Cisco Contact Center Enterprise users are required to provide during flow configuration.

You are not allowed to delete the authorization if it is mapped/used in flow assets.
