Description

When openfga is embedded in another application as library, there might be different authentication method in front of GRPC connection. For example, in grafana we use token-based authentication for GRPC connection to the service which embeds openfga. So in order to use openfga-cli we need to pass access token in special header which is not possible currently with CLI.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating the openfga-cli gRPC connection setup and its command-line option handling; trace how connection settings reach the service. Done means a caller can provide a custom access-token header and the CLI sends it when connecting to the embedded OpenFGA service.
