For invite-only apps, separate authorization from identity by fronting your OAuth flow with a single-use, time-limited token. The token is the admin's permission grant—the gate that says 'this person is allowed in.' OAuth then answers 'who are you, really?' once the gate is passed. This decoupling lets you swap identity providers, add re-bind flows, and audit every entry without coupling gating logic to Apple or Google's SDKs.
