What are Access Tokens used for in Salesforce?

Are used to make authenticated requests FOR the user
Must be protected from interception (via Transport Layer Security: TLS)
Have a longer lifetime than authorisation codes
Are a type of OAuth token, known as the Session ID

The correct answer is: Are used to make authenticated requests FOR the user

Access Tokens in Salesforce are primarily used to make authenticated requests on behalf of the user. They essentially carry the necessary information to access a protected resource, such as user data or API endpoints, after the user has been authenticated and authorized. By using an Access Token, an application can interact with Salesforce APIs securely and access resources that the user has granted permission to. This makes option A the correct answer. Option B is not the primary purpose of Access Tokens but is indeed essential for ensuring the security of the token and maintaining the confidentiality of the information it carries. Option C is incorrect because Access Tokens generally have a shorter lifetime compared to authorization codes. Access Tokens are designed to be short-lived to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Option D is not accurate as Access Tokens are not the same as Session IDs. Access Tokens are a type of OAuth token that is specifically used for accessing resources, while Session IDs are used for maintaining a user's session in Salesforce.
