Scopes

View as Markdown

Give each key only the scopes it needs. A key that only reads data should only have read.

ScopeLets the key
readList and get creators, invoices, POs, payment runs and payments
creators:writeCreate and update creators
invoices:writeSubmit and update invoices
payment_runs:preparePrepare and withdraw payment runs
webhooks:manageCreate, update, delete and test webhook endpoints, and resend events

No scope can approve, fund or release a payment run, and no scope can add or change bank details. A person always does those in StrideHQ.

A request without the right scope gets a 403 with the type permission and the code missing_scope, naming the scope it needs.
