description: >-
  Rose Rocket authenticates every Platform API request with an OAuth 2.0 bearer
  access token issued by a.roserocket.com, an Auth0-hosted authorization server
  that publishes a full OIDC discovery document. Two documented paths exist:
  the authorization-code flow for applications acting on behalf of an end user,
  and a client-credentials "service account" flow for machine-to-machine access.
  NOTE THE GAP: the published OpenAPI (openapi/rose-rocket-platform-model-api.json)
  declares NO components.securitySchemes and NO security requirement on any of its
  19 operations. The auth model below is real but lives only in prose — a client
  generated from the spec alone would emit unauthenticated requests. The overlay
  in overlays/ records this as our enhancement without mutating the original.

      End-user consent flow. The user authenticates against a social connection or
      a customer-configured third-party IdP (the guide names Azure Active Directory);
      configuring an IdP requires contacting Rose Rocket.

    note: >-
      Machine-to-machine. A Service Account user is created under the org and bound
      to the OAuth application; the token request carries org_id and the service
      account's user_id alongside client_id/client_secret. The service account
      defaults to the Manager role — see the roles model in
      https://roserocket.readme.io/docs/roles-and-permissions.
token:
  type: JWT bearer
  lifetime: >-
    Short-lived and deliberately unspecified. The Authentication Guide states
    sessions "may expire sooner than expected" and that the timing "may vary as we
    continuously improve our security systems"; clients must detect 401 and refresh.
    A separate Getting Started page states access tokens last a maximum of 24 hours.
  refresh: >-
    grant_type=refresh_token against https://a.roserocket.com/oauth/token with
    client_id, client_secret, refresh_token and org_id.
  expiry_signal: HTTP 401
credentials:
  issuance: >-
    NOT self-serve. Credentials are provisioned by Rose Rocket: existing customers
    obtain API access through their account representative; independent software
    vendors go through the Partnership team. An OAuth application is then created
    in-product under Settings > API Settings > Applications > OAuth Applications.
  fields: [client_id, client_secret, redirect_uris]
  rotation: >-
    Client secrets are rotatable in-product (Rotate Secret). Rotation invalidates the
    previous secret immediately with no overlap window.
    Source: https://roserocket.readme.io/docs/application-lifecycle-management
  deletion: >-
    Deleting an OAuth application is irreversible and immediately revokes that
    application's API access.
