}Access Profiles
Add an extra virtual key under a user's access profile (deprecated) (deprecated path)
deprecated
Issues an additional virtual key for the user.
Virtual keys are scoped to the user, not to one access profile: what a request may do with
the key is resolved at request time from whichever of the user’s active profiles grant it. So
profile_id is ignored — the key minted is the same whichever profile is named, and it is not
bound to that profile or removed with it. The user must hold at least one access profile.

Authorizations
ManagementBearerAuthBasicAuth
Management API authentication for /api/* endpoints. Use the Authorization header
with Bearer <token>, where <token> is one of:
- a Bifrost management API key,
- a dashboard session token issued by
POST /api/session/login, - base64 of
<admin-username>:<admin-password>(legacy equivalent ofBasicAuth).
Virtual keys (sk-bf-*) and the x-api-key header are not accepted on management APIs -
the sole exception is GET /api/governance/virtual-keys/quota, which is virtual-key-only.
Authentication alone is not sufficient in Bifrost Enterprise: each operation page shows a
Required Permissions table (Resource:Operation, for example Dashboard:View) above
its Authorizations section, and the caller's RBAC role or management API key scopes must
include what it lists, otherwise the request is rejected with 403 Forbidden.
A local admin — authenticated with the admin password, or any caller on a deployment with dashboard auth disabled — bypasses these checks and can call every management endpoint.
OSS setup lock. On Bifrost OSS, while dashboard auth is not active (no admin account,
or auth disabled), every management endpoint except the public ones (/health,
/api/version, /api/session/is-auth-enabled, /api/session/login, ...) requires the
operator's setup token in the X-Bifrost-Setup-Token header, in place of Authorization.
The token is set with setup_token in config.json or the BIFROST_SETUP_TOKEN
environment variable. A missing header returns 401, a wrong token 403. The header
stops working once dashboard auth is enabled. The dashboard instead trades the token once
for an HttpOnly bifrost_setup_session cookie via POST /api/session/setup.
See Required permissions for how
permissions are derived and which endpoints are exempt.
Path Parameters
Ignored. Kept so the path shape stays valid for existing clients; keys are user-scoped, so any value produces the same result.
Response
Virtual key created.
