I used the Application integration key as the userId and called the ApiClient#requestJWTUserToken method. The returned tokenType was Application. What is the function of this token? Is there any documentation to explain?

Hi randy, I believe that this is an application access token. It impersonates your app rather than a user, you can only use it for calling Docusign Admin API endpoints.
