Standard scope and AuthN context values

OAuth scopes and SAML AuthnContext values define the level of access an application is requesting on behalf of a user. These parameters determine what user data the application can access or what actions it can perform. They also represent the authentication context, which indicates how the user will authenticate and the level of assurance required. This helps enforce security, protect user data, and ensure trust in the authentication process.
