Abstract
A method, performed by a server, for determining token scope information so that a client can obtain a scoped token for a cloud service is disclosed. The method comprises requesting and receiving data of a cloud service from another server, receiving a token scope information request for an operation of the cloud service from a client and deriving token scope information based on the data for said operation. The method further comprises sending token scope information to the client so that the client can request a scoped token with capabilities enabling them to access the operation of the cloud service.
