The audience is the tenant's Management API identifier ending in /api/v2/ with the trailing slash, obtained through client credentials from a machine-to-machine application that has been granted the specific scopes it needs. An ordinary application access token, however valid, returns an insufficient scope error.

These tokens are short lived, capped at 24 hours, so mint and cache one rather than requesting per call. More importantly the Management API has its own rate limits, much lower than the authentication endpoints and counted per tenant, so calling it on a request path will throttle the whole tenant under load. Move Management API work to background jobs, cache the results, and never call it inside a login Action unless you have measured the added latency.
