 However, this ADR focuses specifically on the enterprise context highlighted in the consequences of ADR 0015. External organizations often utilize the LMS API with the grant_type: client_credentials to request tokens on behalf of their users. These tokens are crucial for enterprise integrations and require access to the user's user_id for proper functionality.
 
+Based on 0005-restricted-application-for-SSO_ and 0006-enforce-scopes-in-LMS-APIs_ ADRs, it may be that the original purpose of the user_id scope was to protect against leakage of the user_id in the case of some combination of Authorization Grant and Restricted Applications. More investigation would be required to refactor based on this context, but it may be useful for future iterations.

 Deferred/Rejected Alternatives
 ------------------------------
 
-- Adding All Default Scopes: Including all scopes by default could potentially expose unnecessary user information. This approach prioritizes security over granular control.
+- Adding all allowable scopes as default: Including all allowable scopes by default, which would include the user_id scope, would not follow the principle of least privilege and would make every default token have more access than required. Instead, we will minimize the additional access.
 - Default Inclusion with Opt-Out: This alternative explores automatically adding user_id for all cases and introducing an opt-out mechanism for specific scenarios where it's not required. Deferring this option allows for further analysis of potential security implications and user experience trade-offs.
+- See the context section for additional thoughts around Authorization Grant type and Restricted Applications.
