# Boost Mailing List

Access to the mailing list is granted to Boost users via OAuth using `django-oauth-toolkit`.

## Setting Up Boost as an OAuth identity provider

1. In the admin `/admin/`, create a new **Application** under the **Django OAuth Toolkit** heading.

  - The `client_id` and `client_secret` will fill in automatically. Make sure to copy and paste them somewhere before you save.
  - Add the `redirect_uri` (this URL will be from the project that hosts the mailing list, and is not in **this** project. A sample URL for testing is `https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback`.)
  - Whatever is in the `name` field will be what the user sees on the authorization screen.
  - Select **confidential** as the client type, and **Authorization code** as the grant type.
  - Save the record.
