Auth systems/OAuth/Design/Grants

Grants

edit

These are bundles of permissions that a user can give to a Consumer, to use on their behalf. The goal is to prevent a user from being overwhelmed by an app asking for lots of individual permission, however they should be fine-grained enough that the user isn't handing out unnecessary permissions to a potentially hostile Consumer.

  • A typical Consumer will have one or more of these "Grants" authorized by the user.
  • These only limit the user's existing permissions to what they will allow the Consumer to also use, so if the user doesn't have the right themselves, then the Consumer will not have the right either.
  • The titles and descriptions will be MediaWiki messages, translated into the user's language.
