About OAuth scopes for applications

Genesys Cloud’s Platform API implements and adheres to the OAuth 2 standard for secure authorization. The OAuth scopes for applications feature provides a means to limit an app’s access to an individual user or the Genesys Cloud organization’s data. Rather than granting complete access to a user or organization’s account, administrators can define the scope of access given to applications built for Genesys Cloud.

In contrast to granting someone access to your org, scopes limit what apps are allowed to do on behalf of a user or non-user application. Scopes implement an additional layer of authorization that is specific to applications.
