Dear NHS Digital Support Team,

I am currently working on integrating with the NHS CIS2 authentication and authorisation system in the **sandbox environment** , specifically for accessing **user-restricted APIs**.

During the process, I am being redirected to the **CIS2 login page** , but I do not have any test user credentials to proceed further.

Could you please provide the following:

1. **Sandbox test user credentials** (username/password)
2. Any sample OAuth2 configuration or additional requirements specific to sandbox testing with restricted endpoints

**Additional Info:**

- Environment: Sandbox
- Auth flow: CIS2 – User-restricted access
- Issue: Redirected to login page without valid credentials
- Purpose: Testing

Looking forward to your guidance so I can continue development and testing.

Best regards,  
_Asad Rehman_
