Implement user authentication oAuth2

[Guts]

Today, the plugin connection to Isogeo API is made through the oAuth2 Client Credentials Grant. That means the plugin is receiving data shared by the Isogeo administrator. As global trend, Isogeo is becoming an user oriented platform and plugin should follow that dynamic.

Idea

The plugin will not connect itself to the API and get access to share/s granted by an Isogeo administrator but each user can use its own Isogeo account (ie login/password) to get its personal access to referenced and granted datas.

The user experience will be more individualized and new features can be imagined.

How should it work? (open to discussion)

• user can create its account
• user can log in and access its own datas and external data too
• plugin can propose both authentication methods to offer various possibilities
