When implementing an OAuth server, you are enabling a developer community to build applications that leverage your platform, allowing applications to access and potentially modify private user content, or act on behalf of users. Because of this, you need to ensure you are empowering your users with as much information as possible to protect their accounts and ensure they are informed as to what applications are doing with their accounts.
