Once this is configured:

oauth_expire: 3600
oauth_access:
  - allow:
    - user:
      - "admin@localhost"  # add your user name

Try first with the command line:

❯ ejabberdctl oauth_issue_token admin@localhost 3600 "registered_users;muc_online_rooms"
yamdcY4TGqltWCprCnunZjrz7ZNSmL8d        [<<"registered_users">>,<<"muc_online_rooms">>] 3600 seconds

Once that works, you can try to obtain the token using the web, which requires more configuration steps.
