Aaron Cruz (mraaroncruz) | 2 comments Hiya,
I was wondering if there is a way to choose a scope when you make a user oauth auth request.
There is nothing (I can find) in the docs about this. It looks like the default scope is "access your profile data" and "add and update book reviews."
I just want to read the user's shelves and I think they would be more comfortable with my app (I would) if I could limit it to "access your profile data" - wishful thinking but I would love it to be more descriptive for the user as well.

Here is an image of the scope I don't want for clarity

Here is an example of how github lets you choose scope
http://developer.github.com/v3/oauth/...
With twitter, you are asked which scope you want in the admin for your app, not in the request.

tl;dr Can I pick which level of access the users give my app to their account?

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) We'd really like to add this, but it's a significant development undertaking so it might not be too soon.

This is definitely in our roadmap!
