Hi All

I hope this is not too much of a beginner question.

I've been reading through the OAuth spec and I was wondering what the
role of the access token is.

It seems to me after stage 6.2 http://oauth.net/core/1.0a#auth_step2

1. The Service Provider has authorized the Consumer
2. The Service Provider has verified the Consumer

Why then does the consumer need an access token, rather than just
accessed the permissioned resource directly.

Thanks
Melvin
