# Spring Security
The cBioPortal app leverages [Spring Security](https://spring.io/projects/spring-security) to configure authorization and authentication. Some example settings can be found in the [security.properties.EXAMPLE](https://github.com/cBioPortal/cbioportal/blob/master/src/main/resources/security.properties.EXAMPLE) file. For more information on how to configure Spring Security, see the documentation:

- [OAuth2 Configuration](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/reference/web/spring-security.html#web.security.oauth2)
