+2. Create the user token for `vk_user_token`. In Teleton, run `vk_auth_user_url` with the copied `client_id`, open the returned URL, approve the requested scopes, and copy the `access_token` value from the redirected URL fragment. The helper uses comma-separated scope names because VK ID OAuth expects names, not a numeric bitmask.
 3. Create a community token for each managed community. In VK, open the community, go to **Manage** -> **Settings** -> **API usage** -> **Access tokens**, click **Create token**, allow the permissions needed by the plugin, confirm, and copy the generated token.
 4. If you prefer OAuth for community tokens, run `vk_auth_group_url` with the copied `client_id` and `group_ids`, open the returned URL, approve access, and copy each `access_token_<group_id>` value from the redirected URL fragment.
