The access token indicates the user on whose behalf a consumer is acting, when the consumer sends a request to a service provider. (A single consumer may act on behalf of many users, concurrently.)
Some service providers store information inside tokens. For example, an access token may contain the database key of the user who authorized it. To enable this, the access token must be issued after the user has been authenticated. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OAuth" group.
