Multiple self client instances

there a couple of details that deserve clarification / improvement in Zoho's OAuth 2:

1. for building true server apps - cloud to cloud REST - one has to choose Self Client when creating a new instance in API Console; Server-based Appplications is slightly misleading as it has mandatory client stuff such as redirect URL which is not required in server apps

2. hence we have to go with self client - but I can only create one pair of id/secret which makes it vulnerable and limiting. I understand I can generate unlimited refresh tokens with dedicated scopes but still, I'd prefer using separate multiple self clients for separate environments

please correct me if I am wrong in point 1 and it is possible to build backend apps with a different client type? (on a related note, I do believe OAuth is an overkill for these kind of connections and the API would be better off with just one long lived token and without short lived access token needing a regeneration; this is a separate topic raised in https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/auth-type-apikey-for-crm-rest though)

re point 2 - please accept this as feature request suggestion.

How to Add Users to your Organization in ZohoMail?
A better clarity so you can create other users to start using Zoho Mail. You can directly Add Users from the Control Panel to your Organization. You can invite users with the existing email address. If the person (user) already uses ZohoCRM, then you can import users from Zoho CRM. You can also import them using a .csv file. (if you are planning to add them in Bulk) In this topic, We will be discussing on how to Add and Invite users only. The Import options are self explanatory. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
