[Openid-specs-ab] FW: SCOPE not selectable

[Preibisch, Sascha H]

Hi!

It may be an old topic but on the weekend I got a new Android phone and I attempted to install the LinkedIn and Twitter apps. Both apps requested about 10 permissions. Which I denied and therefore not installed.

I may be the only one who is annoyed by that but what is the reason why there is no effort in creating "optional" permissions? In the earlier development phase of OpenID Connect I joined a working group call and showed an example of an authorization page that required SCOPE "openid" but others were de-selectable by the resource owner. The others on that call did not appreciate that idea.

At IIW in March/ April 2014 Justin also mentioned the problem (what to do if requested SCOPE=LIVE KILL) but I do not see anyone addressing that or trying to change it.

Thanks for any thoughts on that,
Sascha
