what risk is associated with enabling oAuth 2.0?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
Enabling OAuth 2.0 does not inherently pose a risk to your system. However, there are a few considerations to keep in mind: 1. Coexistence with other protocols: OAuth 2.0 can coexist with other protocols such as OAuth 1.0 and Token-Based Authentication (TBA). The type of OAuth is controlled on the integration record, meaning you can have one integration using OAuth 2.0 and another using OAuth 1.0 or TBA. 2. Token Refresh: Unlike TBA, which is generally a one-time thing, OAuth 2.0 tokens have to be refreshed periodically. This means you'll need to implement a process for re-authorization, which could be a potential point of failure if not handled correctly. 3. User Intervention: Depending on the grant type, obtaining the initial access token may require user intervention. While this is usually a one-time thing, it's something to be aware of. 4. Server-side scripts: OAuth 2.0 can be used in SuiteScript today. However, depending on the specifics of your implementation, you may need to handle obtaining the access token, using the access token, and optionally refreshing the access token. Remember, the key to mitigating any potential risks associated with enabling OAuth 2.0 is to ensure that you have a robust implementation and management process in place. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
