Authorization and permissions
Authorization and permissions
Authorization questions between you and an application — what the consent page asks, what happens if you allow only part of it, what revoking does, and why a token cannot read some resource.
This category covers "the authorization relationship between you and an application": what each permission on the consent page actually grants, what happens if you refuse part of it, whether the app still works after revocation, and why a valid token cannot read some data.
