Access tokens are a type of security token designed for authorization, granting access to specific resources on behalf of an authenticated user. Information in access tokens determines whether a user has the right to access a particular resource, similar to keys unlocking specific doors in a building. These individual pieces of information that make up tokens are called claims. Therefore, they are sensitive credentials and pose a security risk if not handled correctly. Access tokens differ from [ID tokens](./id-tokens.md) which serve as proof of authentication.

Explicit Forward Proxy for Microsoft Entra Internet Access relies on IP affinity, among other mechanisms, for session management. Although a Conditional Access policy isn't required, we recommend that you configure one that restricts the use of Explicit Forward Proxy to networks that your organization trusts. Additionally, you use Conditional Access policies to assign the Microsoft Entra Internet Access security profiles to users.
With Explicit Forward Proxy, you can use the secure web and AI gateway capabilities of Microsoft Entra Internet Access without installing the Global Secure Access client. Explicit Forward Proxy works with any browser that supports proxy automatic configuration (PAC).
