Chapter 6. Authorizations

This chapter provides information on API resources to add, view, and manage authorization tokens. An authorization token is a secret value that is used to automatically log in to an OpenShift Enterprise account without entering login information each time. A token is also used to grant another user full or partial access to an account, determined by the scope of the token.
Authorization tokens are easily managed and offer better security because there is no need to repeatedly supply login credentials. For example, if a password is ever compromised, the password must be reset. If a secret authorization token is compromised, that token can be revoked and another one created.
The following table describes each parameter associated with an OpenShift authorization token.
Expand
Name Description
id Unique OpenShift login that created this authorization token.
scope Scope of the authorization token to determine type of access. Scopes that are supported by a server are described in the ADD_AUTHORIZATION resource link and may be different for each server.
note A reminder description of what the authorization is for.
expires_in Total time in seconds before this authorization expires. Out of range values will be set to the maximum allowed time.
expires_in_seconds Remaining time in seconds before this authorization expires.
reuse Attempt to locate and reuse an authorization that matches the scope and note and has not yet expired.
token Authorization string that contains user credentials.
The following table describes the available scope options that determine the type of access a user is granted with an authorization.
Expand

session Grants a client the authority to perform all API actions against an account. Valid for one day.
