@Shane: Good point, and in my application the user/client would be authorizing another registered program. Was just using Bob to keep with the example.

@William:
1. I'm just building the API now so anything is possible, but could you give me an example of what you mean? 2. Sure will do, though, if that is a website, I'm not able to connect to it.

    In order to achieve the use case above, how would the client
    (a.k.a the resource owner in this case) specify which user to
    authorize?

    Would the correct approach be to make a request to the
    Authorization Server with the grant type set to
    "client_credentials" and set the scope to user=user_id (where
    user_id would be the identifier for the user Bob)?
