Description

The instructions are very unclear on what account should be used by the Mattermost system admin when setting up the integration. Surely, I'm not supposed to use my personal account, since later on it details how users can authorize their own accounts. But what is the initial account used for the OAuth access for, what account should it be, and what permissions does it have to have ?
