[Beginner] Common question about auth API and chat bots

Bots like Moobot and Nightbot are actually one account, they are just in multiple chat rooms at the same time. Each person that uses the bot has to agree to authorize the bot to perform elevated actions, like editing titles, etc. By doing this each user generates a oauth token that only the bot can use and is specific to the streamers account. The bot cannot use this token to get information or manipulate another person’s account.
