This policy is used to create an Authorization end point project to generate authorization grant after verifying the identity of the resource owner.
In case of Authorization Code grant type request, this end point will generate an authorization code which client can use to obtain an access token. If the request is Implicit grant type, an access token is generated directly. This end point is not required for Password and Client Credentials grant types. Only one instance of Authorization end point API project is sufficient for entire API Management Product.
