OAuth2

Definition

The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework enables a third-party application to obtain limited access to an HTTP service, either on behalf of a resource owner by orchestrating an approval interaction between the resource owner (usually an end user) and the HTTP service, or by allowing the third-party application to obtain access on its own behalf.

Elements Connect URL datasource supports OAuth 2.0, which is also supported by many Cloud services such as those provided by Google, Salesforce, Facebook and Microsoft. The following grant types are supported:

•  "Authorization code"
• "Client Credentials"
• "Resource Owner Password"
