How to add "users" to your bot?

Are we talking about getting the bot auth token.
Or the flow to let users sign up to use your bot.

Both of them has to be auth isn’t it ?

• My bot has to have a token to connect it to the streamers channels.
• My user can auth from the website with twitch and from a dashboard page add the bot with a click of a button.

Following this example of tmi.js

const tmi = require('tmi.js');

const client = new tmi.Client({
	options: { debug: true },
	identity: {
		username: 'my_bot_name',
		password: 'oauth:my_bot_token'
	},
	channels: [ 'my_name' ]
});

client.connect();

In this example, is the my_bot_token equal to the ?code you are reffering to ? In this case it means, every streamer will send his token to the client.

@BarryCarlyon

Either way:

1. Create a web page that has a <a href=""> link to Twitch oAuth
2. User clicks that link
3. The accept (or decline) the link
4. They come back to your website with a ?code

This looks okay to me, but in this part

@BarryCarlyon

• Back end grabs the ?code and exchanges it for a token and refresh token.
• User is now logged into your website essentially.

I do not see the utility of transmitting the code to the backend for the bot because the bot will be already launched with it’s proper token ?
