Identityserver4.admin: What is the use of persisted grants?

Hey, what do you mean? Could you send more context?
Thanks.

[chenchunyunneo]

Can you provide a UI manual to introduce all the features?

This is more of an IdentityServer question, which is covered a bit by this issue on the IS4 repo:

https://github.com/IdentityServer/IdentityServer4/issues/414

Basically, the persisted grants are tokens and other data that the STS server generates from authenticated user interactions that need to be stored for some time (generally longer than an access token's lifespan, which is why access tokens are NOT stored in PersistedGrants).

It may be a good idea to add in the UI some links to official IdentityServer documentation if someone wants more context. What do you think?

[FieldMarshallVague]

To all, it's worth noting that Identity Server is an implementation of OpenID Connect/OAuth 2.0 specifications, so the original documentation is a good source of knowledge on the terminology and reasoning behind architectural decisions.

These can be used as references for creating links in the Admin UI docs. I'm sure PRs would be gratefully received!
