  • ID Token - used to authenticate the user, contain basic profile information
  • Access Token - used to access protected resource via APIs on behalf of the user
  • Refresh Token - used to request new access token once they are expired
  • Authorization Server - issues access and refresh tokens, given the identity of the user
  • Scopes - delegated permission to protected resources to limit delegated access for applications
  • Consent - given by the user to accept the requested scopes
  • Resource Server - stores the resource owner's data
