What is access permission (OAuth)?
A way to give an app limited access to your account without sharing your password.
The “Log in and allow” screen you see when connecting Instagram or YouTube to a scheduling tool is OAuth. The app never sees your password and can only do what you allowed.
You can revoke permissions in the platform's settings any time.
