Hi,

I have few questions about the client_credentials grant type.
Section 4.4 [1] says: "...client is requesting access to the protected resources under its control, or those of another resource owner..."

What I do not understand is the latter part of the above statement, how to establish a link between the client authentication (which is an actual grant in this case) and different resource owners given that the only thing we have is the client authentication. As far as I can see it is only possible to get a one to one link with the end user in this case.

Can someone please clarify what is meant by "those of another resource owner" phrase ?

The other question is about an optional scope parameter. It has to be ignored in case of the client requesting a token for accessing its own resources, right ?

Thanks, Sergey
