From all-or-nothing to task-based OAuth consent
Cloudflare introduced OAuth scope customization, allowing users to selectively grant or deny optional permissions instead of an all-or-nothing consent process.
Why it matters
Users can now restrict the specific access third-party applications have to their accounts, reducing security risks by preventing apps from having unnecessary permissions.
The details
- Developers can mark specific OAuth scopes as either required or optional.
- Users may deselect optional scopes during the authorization consent flow.
- Access tokens only contain the scopes explicitly consented to by users.
