Netlify OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 searched

Netlify uses OAuth 2.0 but publishes no discrete scopes — access is governed by the grant itself (e.g. client-credentials or role-based authorization) rather than per-scope consent.

This index is generated from the provider’s OpenAPI security definitions (and, where available, its documented scope reference) and refreshes on every APIs.io network build. Browse every provider’s scopes at scopes.apis.io.

Netlify implements OAuth 2.0 but publishes no discrete scopes — access is governed by the grant itself (client-credentials or role-based authorization) rather than per-scope consent.

Netlify OAuth2 declares NO granular scopes. The securityDefinitions entry in Netlify's own OpenAPI carries an empty scopes object across all 35 refined specs and in upstream 2.57.0, and Netlify staff have confirmed only a single public scope exists (https://answers.netlify.com/t/netlify-oauth-scopes/112113). A personal access token or an OAuth token therefore carries the full authority of the account it was issued for: an agent given a token to read deploys can also delete the site. There is no read-only token and no way to scope a token to one project.

authorization_endpoint: https://app.netlify.com/authorize
scopes: []
authorization_model:
  mechanism: team roles, not token scopes
  detail: Permission is bounded by the ROLE of the user the token belongs to, applied at the team level
    in the dashboard — not by anything the token itself carries. A token cannot be narrower than its owner.
  roles_docs: https://docs.netlify.com/manage/accounts-and-billing/team-management/roles-and-permissions/
  sso_constraint: Under team SAML SSO, personal access tokens are denied team access by default; access
    must be granted explicitly at generation time while signed in to that team.
  revocation: Resetting the Netlify account password permanently invalidates every PAT and OAuth token
    issued before the reset.

  note: The MCP server DOES advertise scopes — a read/write split the REST API does not offer. These govern
    the MCP session, not the underlying Netlify REST token, so they are recorded separately and are not
    scopes of the API above.
