Brief Introduction
OAuth 2.0 is a popular framework that allows users to login to your web application by using third party sign ins, from providers they've already created and trust, with the click of a button. And because passwords and sensitive data are never sent, your web application does not have to deal with the complexities of secure password storage and security breaches. Your users can then control the level of access your application has to their data, and change or revoke this access at any point in tCourse Summary

Outline
- lesson 1 Authentication vs. Authorization Learn the difference between authentication and authorization. Learn how OAuth 2.0 makes implementing security easier for developers and users.

See how security can be handled by your server and your user's browser. Add a Google+ Sign-In to an existing web application and implement a hybridized client/server flow. lesson 3 Local Permission Systems Add python code to create server-side rules that will constitute a permission system. Limit access of the database for each logged in user based on how the developer designs this code. Add a User model model to your database to store the credentials collected from the OAuth provider's API. lesson 4 Adding Facebook & Other Providers Learn to implement multiple OAuth providers on your web application. Add Facebook Login as an alternative sign in option for your users. Understand how to use OAuth provider documentation to add as many providers as you see fit.
