!!! Overview
The [{$pagename}] is an Abstract [OAuth 2.0 Protocol Flow|Grant Type] and is illustrated as:

The interaction between the four roles and includes the following steps:
* (A) The [OAuth Client] requests authorization from the [Resource Owner]. The authorization request can be made directly to the [Resource Owner] (as shown), or preferably indirectly via the [Authorization Server] as an intermediary.
* (B) The [OAuth Client] receives an Authorization Grant, which is a credential representing the resource owner's authorization, expressed using one of four grant types defined in this specification or using an extension grant type. The authorization grant type depends on the method used by the [OAuth Client] to request authorization and the types supported by the [Authorization Server].
* (C) The [OAuth Client] requests an access token by authenticating with the [Authorization Server] and presenting the [Authorization Grant].
* (D) The [Authorization Server] [Authenticates] the [OAuth Client] and validates the [Authorization Grant], and if valid, issues an [Access Token].
* (E) The [OAuth Client] requests the protected resource from the [Resource Server] and [Authenticates] by presenting the [Access Token].
* (F) The [Resource Server] validates the [Access Token], and if valid, serves the request.
The preferred method for the client to obtain an [Authorization Grant] from the [Resource Owner] (depicted in steps (A) and (B)) is to use the [Authorization Server] as an intermediary.
