Set client introspection resources

PUT
/api/v1/admin/clients/{id}/introspection-resources
Code sample: Shell / cURL
curl --request PUT \
--url http://localhost:9090/api/v1/admin/clients/1/introspection-resources \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "resourceIds": [ 1 ], "expectedResourceIds": [ 1 ] }'

Replace the whole list of resources whose tokens the client may introspect. A repeated id is listed once. expectedResourceIds is the list as you last read it, [] when it was empty.

The route admits authserver:manage-clients and authserver:manage. Adding the authserver resource is reserved to authserver:manage, because a client listed for it can introspect the tokens of every sign-in: authserver:manage-clients is refused with MANAGE_SCOPE_REQUIRED. Keeping it listed, or removing it, is not reserved. A write to an administrator client is reserved to authserver:manage too.

A public client can’t introspect, so it lists none. Making a client public empties its list.

Invalid request body or parameters

Media typeapplication/json

Admin/account API error envelope. Routing by HTTP status code: 4xx is a client-correctable failure (validation, not found, permission denied, rate limited); 5xx is a server-side problem. The body provides a stable error_code and an error_description for people to read. Protocol endpoints (/auth/token, /auth/authorize, /connect/register, /userinfo) use their RFC-defined error envelopes instead of this one.

object
error_code

Stable identifier for the failure. UPPER_SNAKE for legacy codes (e.g. VALIDATION_ERROR), dotted lowercase for codes named after the sentence’s catalog key (e.g. validator.email.required). Never translated, whatever the request’s language.

string
error_description
required

A sentence for people to read: in the request’s language, from the ui_locales query parameter or else the Accept-Language header, when the server has the sentence in that language, and in English otherwise. Route on error_code, not on this text.

string

Example generated

{
"error_code": "example",
"error_description": "example"
}
WWW-Authenticate
string

Bearer challenge when token transport is malformed; ordinary validation errors omit it.

WWW-Authenticate
string

A Bearer challenge, then a DPoP challenge naming the accepted proof algorithms, on token refusals, the error in the challenge of the scheme the token was sent with: Bearer realm="goiabada", error="invalid_token", error_description="...", DPoP realm="goiabada", algs="ES256 ...". An operation may also return a handler-level 401 without this header.

The token is valid but does not authorise this request. A caller tells the refusals apart by error_code.

INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE comes from the route’s authorisation middleware, before the handler runs: an Admin operation needs one of the scopes its route names, and an Account operation needs authserver:manage-account.

USER_CONTEXT_REQUIRED comes from the same middleware on the Account operations, which also require the token to have been issued for a user: one obtained through the client credentials grant carries no auth_time claim and is refused here.

FORBIDDEN comes from the handler, on the account endpoints that resolve a resource by id and then check it belongs to the caller, so a valid token for the wrong user reaches this rather than a 404.

CLIENT_NOT_ALLOWED comes from the route on the two Account operations only the admin console’s own client may call, deleteAccount and exportAccount. ACCOUNT_DELETION_DISABLED comes from deleteAccount while an administrator has turned off Let users delete their own account.

MANAGE_SCOPE_REQUIRED comes from the handler, on the Admin operations the administrative policy guards. Only authserver:manage creates an administrator, changes one, or changes what reaches one, so no granular scope will ever be enough: the remedy is a token holding authserver:manage, not requesting the route’s scope as for INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE. An administrator is a user, group or client holding any of the six administrative permissions (manage, admin-read, manage-users, manage-clients, manage-settings, browser-sessions), a user directly or through any of its groups, the admin console’s own client whatever it holds, and a client allowed to request the administrative scopes. A granular scope is refused here when it:

  • grants or revokes an administrative permission, directly or by moving a user into or out of a group that holds one, or deletes such a group;
  • writes to an administrator user (profile, credentials, enabled, sessions, consents, attributes, memberships, permissions, deletion), an administrative group (settings, attributes, members, permissions, deletion), or an administrator client (settings, authentication, flows, redirect URIs, sign-out redirect URIs, back-channel logout, DPoP, web origins, token settings, permissions, introspection resources, logo, deletion);
  • switches whether a client may request the administrative scopes, on or off, on any client;
  • adds the authserver resource to a client’s introspection resources;
  • reads an administrator client’s secret, or reads or sets the secret of a client listed for the authserver resource among its introspection resources;
  • sets or changes a client’s back-channel logout URI;
  • changes the email or the audit-log settings;
  • changes an administrative permission’s description. Granular scopes still read administrators. The refusal is answered after the request’s 400 and 404, writes nothing, carries the insufficient_scope challenge of the scheme the token was sent with, such as WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="goiabada", error="insufficient_scope", error_description="...", scope="authserver:manage", and leaves an administrator_change_refused audit record.

Another save changed the client’s introspection resources after expectedResourceIds was read. error_code is CONCURRENT_UPDATE; nothing was saved. Read them again and retry.

The request failed inside the server, most often a storage error. error_code is INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR: no detail about the failure, only the request id an operator can find the log line by, and retrying is reasonable. Key rotation’s 500 also answers KEY_SET_INCOMPLETE, which names its cause and no retry clears.
