Scope	Description	Flows
anonymous	Anonymous authentication via POST /oauth2/direct/auth (grant_type token). Returns an access token that can be used to browse restaurant information and begin an order without a logged-in diner; any call except checkout is permitted until the session is connected to an authenticated diner.
openid diner	Required scope value when authenticating a diner via POST /oauth2/direct/auth with a signed OpenID token (grant_type token). Links the partner application's user to a Grubhub diner record and returns an access token for making Grubhub API calls on that diner's behalf, including checkout.
