In typical OAuth deployments the authorization server is in a position to observe and track a significant amount of user and client behavior. It is largely just inherent to the nature of OAuth, and this document does little to affect that. In some cases, however, such as when access token introspection is not being used, use of the resource parameter defined herein may allow for tracking behavior at a somewhat more granular and specific level than would otherwise be possible in its absence.
