Abstract
An application submits a permission request to a resource server. In response to receiving the request, the resource server generates a user interface that asks the user to grant or deny the requested permissions. If the permissions are granted, data is stored indicating that the application has the requested permissions. When a runtime request for a resource is received, the resource server determines whether the request has been made by a user, by an application, or by an application on behalf of a user. If the request is made by an application only, the request is granted only if the application has permission to access the resource by way of a direct call not on behalf of a user. If the request is made by an application on behalf of a user, the request is granted only if both the user and the application have sufficient permission.
