Purpose of user_id in the oauth_clients table in the cookbook example #946

I would like to know the purpose of the user_id in the oauth_clients table. Is it meant for assigning the user account that owns a client account?

yes, if you'd like to keep track of the users who created the oauth clients, this is the field to do it. It's not a part of the OAuth2 spec, it's just something I added because I thought it would be useful in most cases.
