Hi Brian, In general, OAuth 2.0 is an authorization framework; as such it doesn't directly describe authentication claims like "who is the current user?" or "what is this user's e-mail address". OAuth 2.0 can be used as the basis for authentication protocols like OpenID Connect [1], which you may want to explore as a "complete package" that provides this kind of functionality.
