  • Using a host application to authorize a user of a client device to perform an action within a guest application
    Patent number: 11757891
    Abstract: An online system receives information describing a request from a user to perform an action within a guest application and information identifying a host application for determining whether to allow the user to do so. The information describing the request is communicated to the host application for comparison to a set of permissions. Upon receiving information indicating the information describing the request matches a permission identifying a user allowed to perform an action within the guest application, the online system communicates, to the host application, a message for display to the user including an option allowing the user to perform the action within the guest application. Upon receiving a selection of the option at the host application, the online system receives a token allowing the user to perform the action within the guest application and communicates it to the guest application. The host and guest applications also may communicate directly.
