Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 derived

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform publishes 3 OAuth 2.0 scopes via the authorizationCode and password flows. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform API on a user’s behalf.

Tokens are issued from /o/token/.

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.

note: 'AAP''s OAuth scope surface is deliberately coarse: the Platform Gateway issues only `read` and
  `write`. Authorization is enforced by AAP RBAC AFTER the token is accepted (role definitions, role user/team
  assignments in the Gateway API), not by scope. An agent cannot request a least-privilege token for a
  single resource type — it gets read or write across everything the user can reach. Ansible Lightspeed
  adds a third scope, `delete`.'
warning: The Gateway declares BOTH authorizationCode and password (resource-owner) grants. The password
  grant is removed in OAuth 2.1; recorded as a fact about the contract.
