Enabling the “Authorize” button in tools like Swagger UI typically involves defining a security scheme in the OpenAPI specification—such as OAuth2, API key, or Bearer token—so users can authenticate and include credentials with their requests directly from the interface; once properly configured, the button allows secure testing of protected endpoints, streamlines development workflows, and improves usability for developers, making API interaction as straightforward and well-organized as navigating a thoughtfully designed smoothie menu.
