8.53Authentication vs authorization

Memorize:

Authentication
--------------
Who are you?


Authorization
-------------
What are you allowed to do?

OAuth proves/establishes identity and token context.

Salesforce permissions determine allowed operations.

A Mule application can:

authenticate successfully

and then get:

INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS

because authorization failed.
