User required?

Hi, we want to display a list of staff currently working on a kind of dashboard.
It works perfectly, but do I really authorize as a user?

First, this feels wrong because the dashboard is "public" and belongs to no specific user. I would need to hard code username / password because the dashboard runs on a TV screen.

Second, creating a "API-User" is currently the same as creating new employee. So the API-User would cost the same licence as a regular employee.

Using just "some" user's credentials is no option for me, because this is even more bad practise.

It would really be great if such general, not user-specific information would be available with only App ID / App Secret.

I would really love to use the API, but

Thank you, best regards
