Hi Devs,

I want to secure a set of APIs using OAuth 2.0. Resource server has APIs of
type,

X and Y.

Client authenticates itself with the authorization server (say resource
owner password credentials grant...) and gets an access token.

The authorization server has two types of users. (roles)

role A
role B

users of role A should be able to access both the resources X and Y
where as users of role B can only access resources of type Y.


Authorization is the concern here. How can we pass that info to the
resource server ? Since OAuth is a authorization framework, we dont' have
to deal with user roles at the resource server, right (correct me if i'm
wrong..) ?

if so, is the 'scope' parameter in the access token, the correct approach ?

thanks,
--Pradeep
