A successful login verifies identity but does not authorize every action or object.
Servers must validate the exact user, action, resource, ownership, and organization boundary.
Valid tokens and strong SSO still require current server-side authorization decisions.
Authorized scope, minimum safe evidence, professional reporting, and responsible disclosure.
