Requesting User Information #197
Comments
The current text really means RO, and generally considers the case end-user = RO. Back to the general case: I think we should clarify when we could have a remote RO too. Then do we even return a result if the AS knows something about the end-user? (different from RO in that case). In general, we might want to avoid the term "user" as it is not specific enough. |
The title has been changed into "Requesting Subject information". An AS can hold information about an end-user or about RO when the RO is a human being. It does not hold information about organizations or devices. However, an end-user may belong to some organizations or/and use some devices. IMO, I would replace it by "Requesting end-user Information". If it happens that the end-user has also a RO account on the AS, then it should also have access to it. RO = end-user was a common case in OAuth. In GNAP and in the general case a RO is different from an end-user and an AS may have no relationship with any RO (e.g. when attributes only are being used). |
I guess you refer to "2.2. Requesting Subject Information". We don't always know in advance whether it will be a RO or an end-user only, so the proposal isn't always applicable. |
I was indeed referring to "2.2. Requesting Subject Information" which has no relationship with "2.3. Identifying the Client Instance". This means that your arguments do not apply to section 2.2. and, by implication, that my argumentation currently remains valid. |
Well, I take the point in consideration but I don't think we should base our reasoning on the structure of sections, which can change |
In section 2.4 (Requesting User Information), the first sentence starts with:
From the title, the acronym "RO" should be changed into "end-user". The case where the RO is also the end-user is a specific case.
This leads to the following change:
In the following sentences of this section, RO should be changed into end-user.
