Explicit delegation
This is the most common OAuth use case, which involves a resource owner (RO) who explicitly delegates to a client the authority to make API calls to a resource server (RS) and is asked to approve the transaction. This is the type of delegation inherent in web redirect flow.
Implicit delegation
Implicit delegation also generally involves a client who calls an API on behalf of a user; however, the client's authority is implied by the nature of the transaction, and the user is not specifically asked to approve the transaction.
