Subject: Case for Oauth

Hi,

  I have been trying to see if OAuth fits my requirement.Here is my case

  1. I am an API service provider
  2. There are 3rd party applications which register with me to make use of
my API's.
  3.  There are subscribers of the 3rd party applications who
will in-turn consume my API's.I have no knowledge of the 3rd party
application's subscribers.

  Is there a case for me to expose an oauth service here?

  I am a bit confused by the oauth roles.

  1. I own the protected resources and am the resource owner
  2. I am also the resource server and authorization server.
  3. That leaves the client which is the 3rd party application.

  So what role does the application's subscriber play here.Am i getting
confused about the resource owner part?

Thanks
