[twitter-dev] Re: Downgrading the permissions on an application

2011-07-01 Thread Simon Cast
Hi Taylor,

Thanks for the info.

How is it possible for a user to downgrade their token? I know
applications can be removed but I've never seen the ability to
downgrade?

Regards,

Simon

 Hi Simon,

 1. Yes, your existing tokens with the application will still work when you
 make this change.
 2. Yes, your existing tokens will continue to have the higher level of
 permission that they were originally granted at.

 When an end-user does downgrade their token to the read-only flavor, the
 strings for the access token will also change.

  Hi,

  We are looking at reducing the permissions, R/W = R, on our
  application. I have several questions before we attempt this:

  1. Will the existing tokens associated with the application still
  work?
  2. Will the existing tokens still have the higher level of permission?

  Regards,

You would ask your users to re-authenticate and send them through the OAuth
flow again, this time to exchange their RW token for a RO token. By
re-authenticating, they would invalidate the RW token and you would then
consume the new RO token.
