The User-Managed Access protocol builds on OAuth to take Web data sharing to the next level, for both users and developers. If OAuth lets you hand out valet keys to your Web resources and API endpoints, UMA aims to give you a resource doorman -- on duty 24/7, handling requests according to your strict instructions, and able to give you a full report whenever you wander through the lobby. In this session we'll discuss UMA's benefits for privacy and data portability, sample use cases, specification and implementation progress to date, and next steps.
