Additional Information

This is expected behavior. An Oauth token generated with the 'client_credentials' grant_type is considered an 'App Login' and is used to gain access to premium content and services in ArcGIS Online. https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/core-concepts/security-and-authentication/accessing-arcgis-online-services/ It is not intended to be used to gain access to secured services in Portal for ArcGIS or a federated server. The limitations of this type of Oauth token are documented here: https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/core-concepts/security-and-authentication/limitations-of-application-authentication/
