For the initiated, that's what "capability" means.

How about this language

"Access tokens are bearer authentication tokens, such as passwords or
capabilities."

I'd encourage the use of the word "capability" because a lot of the
use cases that OAuth 2 enables over OAuth 1 involve using the token
like a capability, sharing it across multiple components to convey
authorization.
