Laravel Passport - How do you create a first-party client?

Question

I'm currently reading the documentation on Laravel Passport on skipping the authorization prompt for a first-party client. I have protected routes based on the scopes the clients request which a typical user would authenticate however, I am using Laravel passport as a Single-Sign-On server for my first party applications as well as third party and to this effect want to skip authorization only for first-party clients.

It is key to note that the scopes should still apply with or without an authorization prompt. My first-party client will still send scopes relative to the user, I just want to skip the authorization prompt and instantly redirect after login.

I created a model as the documentation suggests:

namespace App\Models;

use Laravel\Passport\Client as BaseClient;

class Passport extends BaseClient
{
    public function skipsAuthorization()
    {
        return $this->firstParty();
    }
}

However, it doesn't not mention how to generate clients that are first-party, or how to upgrade a current client to a first-party client.

On inspection of the Database table oauth_clients there is no relative column or foreign table that would suggest a client is a first-party.

To this effect, I am under assumption that the $this->firstParty() needs to be implemented in the Passport class and a migration should be created to add a is_first_party column.

To this effect, the documentation further references Overriding default models however, the documentation shows that the Client class is the default value for Passport::useClientModel but the created model suggests extending BaseClient.

Any help appreciated.

After some ideas, I decided to check the Client class within Github for Laravel passport.

/**
 * Determine if the client is a "first party" client.
 *
 * @return bool
 */
public function firstParty()
{
    return $this->personal_access_client || $this->password_client;
}

It appears that the client must be of a Personal Access type in order for it to skip the authorization.

php artisan passport:client --personal

Extending Client and then Overriding the default model worked fine.

Passport::useClientModel(\App\Models\Passport::class);

My Passport Model now looks like this:

namespace App\Models;

use Laravel\Passport\Client;

class Passport extends Client
{
    public function skipsAuthorization()
    {
        return $this->firstParty();
    }
}
