    description: >-
      HTTP Basic authentication. Credentials are the account username plus an API
      security token (recommended) or the account password, base64-encoded as
      "<username>:<api-token>" in the Authorization header. The API security token
      is generated/rotated from the user account settings in the Skytap web UI.
    credential: username + API security token (or password)
    header: 'Authorization: Basic <base64(username:api-token)>'
    sources: [docs]
notes: >-
  No OAuth2/OIDC or scope surface — authorization is account/role driven, not
  scope-based, so scopes/ is intentionally omitted. Insufficient privileges most
  often return 404 (rather than 403) to avoid disclosing resource existence.
