    As you can see in the source code, or in the documentation, ApiAuthorizationDbContext inherits from
    IdentityDbContext and it also implements IPersistedGrantDbContext which
    is responsible for storing consent, authorization codes, refresh tokens, and reference tokens.

    Except for what @gbede said about the ApiAuthorizationDbContext<TUser> usage, ApiAuthorizationDbContext<TUser> force TUser to extends IdentityUser instead of IdentityUser<TKey>. This means it is impossible to use Identity Server on application with ApplicationUser : IdentityUser<Guid>(or anything different from IdentityUser<string>).

    IdentityDbContext can work with different IdentityUser<TKey>, you can customize your model like:

    public class AppUser:IdentityUser<Guid>
{
    //add any additional properties
}

    Then use the DbContext like:

    public class MvcProjContext : IdentityDbContext<AppUser,IdentityRole<Guid>,Guid>
{
    public MvcProjContext (DbContextOptions<MvcProjContext> options)
        : base(options)
    {
    }
}
