OAuth 2.0

OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that gives clients limited, token-based access to protected resources.

OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework that lets a client obtain limited access to a protected resource, usually through an access token, on behalf of a user or on its own behalf. OAuth is about delegated authorization; by itself, it is not an authentication protocol.

IGA may govern who can authorize clients, which scopes are allowed, application ownership and the lifecycle of service principals and grants.
