I have managed to set up oauth2 for user registration and authentication using Google oauth2 API as provider.

My code for oauth2 provider callback looks like this:

  def callback(conn, %{"provider" => provider, "code" => code}) do
    client = get_token!(provider, code)
    user = get_user!(provider, client)

    user_params = %{
      first_name: user.body["given_name"],
      last_name: user.body["family_name"],
      email: user.body["email"],
      provider: "google"
    }

    changeset = User.changeset(%User{}, user_params)
    create(conn, changeset, client)
end

  def create(conn, changeset, client) do
    case insert_or_update_user(changeset) do
      {:ok, user} ->
        conn
        |> put_flash(:info, "Thank you for signing in!")
        |> put_session(:current_user, user)
        |> put_session(:access_token, client.token.access_token)
        |> redirect(to: "/")
      {:error, _reason} ->
        conn
        |> put_flash(:error, "Error signing in")
        |> redirect(to: page_path(conn, :index))
    end
  end

  defp insert_or_update_user(changeset) do
    case Repo.get_by(User, email: changeset.changes.email) do
      nil ->
        Repo.insert(changeset)
      user ->
        {:ok, user}
    end
  end

As can be seen I am loading the user object by the email address provided by Google’s oauth2 and signs him into the site (put_session(:current_user, user)) after loading him by the given email address.

Is this correct, secure and satisfactory?

At the same time I wonder, what is the use of the access_token? Is it something that I need to store in the users tables and check for its validity on each subsegment resource request made by the user?

For google that is used to both verify validity (you ‘should’ double-check it on occasion by querying google with it) and to get other data about the users profile if you so wish.
