So I’m trying to run `UnlinkApple` and `UnlinkGoogle` from my backend, but both require an OAuth token.  
In my case, I’m running a script to clean up accounts — the user is not online, so I don’t have a fresh token and I don’t want to store it anywhere.

When I unlink through the Nakama Console, it works without a token (console calls `/v2/console/account/{user_id}/unlink/google` etc.).

Why can the console do this without a token, and is there a supported way for me to bypass the token requirement from backend code like the console does?

@mahansh if you set the token to empty string the Unlink\* should force unlink.

Hope this helps.
