OauthCustomScope

An OAuth custom scope tells an external entity about a connected app’s permissions to access protected data. The OAuth custom scope that you create in your Salesforce org corresponds to the same custom scope defined in your external entity, and assigned to the resource.

For example, you define an Order Status custom scope in your external entity that allows access to customer order status data in your order system’s API. In Salesforce, you create an OAuth custom scope that you also name Order Status. You assign this custom scope to the connected app requesting access to the order status API. When the external entity receives the connected app’s request to access a customer’s order status, it validates the connected app’s access token and Order Status scope. With a successful validation, the app can access the customer order status information in the order system’s API.
