summary: >-
  RICS exposes exactly one OAuth/OIDC surface, and it is not the API. The Azure AD B2C tenant behind
  RICS member sign-in publishes an OIDC discovery document whose scopes_supported list contains a
  single value, "openid" - there is no resource scope, no API scope and no consent surface for
  third-party applications. The DigitalCommunity API at api.rics.org has no scope model at all: it
  authenticates with a RICS-issued username and password exchanged at POST /token for a bearer JWT,
  and entitlement is decided server-side and surfaced only as 403 Forbidden.

notes:
  api_scopes: >-
    None. The DigitalCommunity API declares one securityScheme of type apiKey (Authorization header,
    bearer JWT). No scope, permission or role is published, so an integrator cannot reason about
    least privilege before receiving credentials from RICS.
  contactNumber_claim: >-
    The non-standard contactNumber claim is the RICS member/contact number, the same identifier the
    DigitalCommunity API surfaces as contactNo on ProfileModel - the one visible join between the
    member identity layer and the API data layer.
