How to request additional google oauth2 scope?

I'm using google oauth 2 for registrations.

While registration i'm asking these two scopes.

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile

and I've successfully stored oauth2 tokens like refresh token in the database.

Some of my users interested in inviting their friends.

So I would like to request additional scope to access that user's contacts. This is the scope to access contacts

Now is there a way to request additional scope without forcing the user to logout and authorize again?

Solution

  • No. You cannot. Users will have to re-login.
