Developing Applications Using Cisco Core Platforms and APIs (DEVCOR) — Question 149

What is the result of a successful OAuth2 authorization grant flow?

Answer options

• A. The third-party service is provided with a token that allows actions to be performed.
• B. The user has the application rights that correspond to the user's role within the application's database.
• C. The application is provided with a token that allows actions on services on the user's behalf.
• D. The user has administrative rights to the application's backend services.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because, in a successful OAuth2 authorization grant flow, the application obtains a token that permits it to perform actions on behalf of the user. Option A is incorrect as it pertains to third-party services rather than the application itself. Option B is not relevant to the token issuance process, and option D incorrectly suggests administrative rights, which are not guaranteed through OAuth2 authorization.
