Methods, and apparatuses are provided for access limitations to a network in a session using a formatted web token. The method includes: formatting a web token by a schema to create a formatted web token for user access to the network; receiving a log-in request for the user access to the network server via an app hosted by a computing device remotely located to the network server; in response to receipt of a user access request, creating the session by the network server with network limitations for user access to data and resources of the network; passing the formatted web token to a client for enabling user access to the data and resources of the network; decoding payload data of the formatted web token at the client to authenticate the user access; and enabling the client with access limitations based on decoded payload data.
