And the next sections assume you already read it, and assume that you know those main ideas.

## External Courses

Although the [Tutorial - User Guide](../tutorial/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank} and this **Advanced User Guide** are written as a guided tutorial (like a book) and should be enough for you to **learn FastAPI**, you might want to complement it with additional courses.

# Security Tools

When you need to declare dependencies with OAuth2 scopes you use `Security()`.

But you still need to define what is the dependable, the callable that you pass as a parameter to `Depends()` or `Security()`.

There are multiple tools that you can use to create those dependables, and they get integrated into OpenAPI so they are shown in the automatic docs UI, they can be used by automatically generated clients and SDKs, etc.

!!! tip
    The next sections are **not necessarily "advanced"**.

    And it's possible that for your use case, the solution is in one of them.

## Read the Tutorial first

The next sections assume you already read the main [Tutorial - User Guide: Security](../../tutorial/security/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

# Tutorial - User Guide

This tutorial shows you how to use **FastAPI** with most of its features, step by step.

Each section gradually builds on the previous ones, but it's structured to separate topics, so that you can go directly to any specific one to solve your specific API needs.

It is also built to work as a future reference.

So you can come back and see exactly what you need.
