Describe the bug
Feature request to add support for OAuth2 Client Credentials and access token use examples

Additional context
OAuth2 ClientId and ClientSecret can be used to generate an access (bearer) token with the following:

curl 'https://intersight.com/iam/token'
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials'
--data-urlencode 'client_id=46a7e36f289f9133bb1a15d154505a6093eaafa71314887df1427a8d45d7b526-636d24f77564612d3375a70f'
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=d0b8bfa099cc1723e87e1d9aec361…'

Response:

{"access_token":"eyJh...pg","expires_in":600,"token_type":"Bearer"}

The token can then be used to authenticate with any API resource:

curl 'https://intersight.com/api/v1/iam/Users' --header 'Authorization: Bearer e...pg'

Response:

"ObjectType": "iam.User.List",
"Results": [
{
"AccountMoid": "636d24f77564612d3375a70e",
"Ancestors": [
{
"ClassId": "mo.MoRef",
"Moid": "636d24f77564612d3375a711",
"ObjectType": "iam.IdpReference",

Request is to support in the module so that cmdlets can use Bearer tokens instead of API key based signing.
