OAuth

OAuth stands for Open Standardization and is a standard for online authorization. This activity helps to authenticate the user using five different OAuth Grant types which are supported by the Automation Studio. It returns the access token upon successful authentication. In case, the access token expires, it generates a new token from the refresh token. In a scenario, if the refresh token is unavailable or it has expired, it performs interactive login to get the new token. OAuth activity can be used either inside or outside the Application activity.

For step-by-step demos, the guide is taking the example of Modern Authentication Types supported for Microsoft applications.
