University of Melbourne OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 probed

University of Melbourne publishes 7 OAuth 2.0 scopes. Scopes are the fine-grained permissions an application requests at authorization time to act against the University of Melbourne API on a user’s behalf.

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.

description: >-
  The only enumerable scope set on any University of Melbourne surface. It
  comes from the OpenID Connect discovery document served by the University's
  Okta tenancy at sso.unimelb.edu.au. The operator is `tenant`: Okta defines
  and implements these scopes, the University configures and hosts them under
  its own name. Nothing derived from this document is credited to the
  institution's engineering.

  The University's two publicly callable APIs — SUDO and Minerva Access — are
  unauthenticated for read and publish no scope model at all.

notes: >-
  The presence of the `password` (Resource Owner Password Credentials) grant in
  a 2026 discovery document is worth recording; OAuth 2.1 removes it. It is
  offered by the platform here, which is not the same as the University
  enabling it for any given application.
