I have a need for a service to runs certain actions on a interval against certain IDP’s, since this is a background process it doesnt have the user keycloak access token to then hit  
/auth/realms/{realm}/broker/{provider\_alias}/token

Is there not a way to access the users External IDP Token without the users keycloak access token?
