'User' here means the user being authenticated. As far as I'm aware, authsub doesn't even have any concept of an application - it doesn't care who's requesting the authorization. > > I plan to store only 1 session token per app user (for access to > spreadsheets), but could potentially have many more than 10 users > accessing my app at the same time.

The only potential issue is if your users are using 10 other services that also use AuthSub - in which case the session tokens will not remain valid for all 11 (your app being the 11th). > > 2) Is it considered good practice to store user session tokens in the > Google data store (associated with a user's id)?
