University of Oxford OAuth Scopes

OAuth 2.0 probed

University of Oxford 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.

OAuth Scopes

name: University of Oxford — authorization scopes
description: >-
  There are none, and the absence is the finding rather than a gap in our research. No
  institution-operated Oxford API uses OAuth, OIDC or any token-based authorization, so there
  is no scope vocabulary to record. This file exists so that a reader does not have to wonder
  whether scopes were simply never looked for.
generated: '2026-08-19'
method: probed
source: >-
  Live probes of every surface in apis.yml. No .well-known/oauth-authorization-server,
  .well-known/openid-configuration, token endpoint or client-registration page was found on
  any ox.ac.uk host examined.
scopes: []
notes:
  - >-
    The nearest equivalent to authorization at Oxford is SAML attribute release through the
    Shibboleth IdP to 35 federated service providers. SAML attribute bundles are not API
    scopes and are deliberately not recorded as such here.
  - >-
    The tenant surfaces in apis.yml (Figshare, Ex Libris Primo VE, Instructure Canvas, CoreHR)
    do have OAuth scope vocabularies. Those belong to the vendors' own catalog entries, not to
    Oxford, and are not reproduced here.
