Collate Authentication

Authentication

OpenMetadata authenticates every REST API request with a JWT Bearer token passed in the Authorization header (`Authorization: Bearer `). Tokens are either Bot tokens (Settings > Bots > Generate Token) or Personal Access Tokens (profile > Access Tokens, expiry required, shown once). The server validates the JWT signature and enforces role-based access control before processing the request; expired or invalid tokens return 401. The same JWT works across the Python, Java, and curl/bash clients. The hosted MCP server uses OAuth 2.1 / OIDC (authorization_code + PKCE) — see mcp/collate-mcp.yml.

Collate secures its APIs with http across 1 declared security scheme, as derived from its OpenAPI definitions.
