Hello Team

In the OAuth provider scenario, the OAuth profile refers to a combination of a grant type and at least one scope. The scope specifies the access that the user has to the protected resource, such as read or write. You can create a profile for each third-party provider and obtain the specific set of scopes from the provider.

You can think in this way that you are try to integrate Microsoft Outlook Calendar, in order to do that you first need the read roles associated with a token you are generating with Oauth. Therefore in the scope you will define/create a record which will have the exact name of role need to read the calendar. 

By doing this when you will generate the token, it will have permissions to read the calender. then this token will be used in integration through rest api or other ways.
