Required Permissions How permissions work

Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

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 of BasicAuth).

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.

Body

application/json

The adaptive routing settings. On PUT this is a full replacement: a switch left out of the body is turned off, and history_retention_days and snapshot_persist_interval_seconds must be sent. Unknown fields are ignored.

history_retention_days
integer
default:7
required

Days routing history is kept. A change applies from the next restart. Outside 1 to 30, or omitted, is rejected with 400.

Required range: 1 <= x <= 30
snapshot_persist_interval_seconds
integer
default:300
required

How often routing state is saved, in seconds. Outside 5 to 86400, or omitted, is rejected with 400.

Required range: 5 <= x <= 86400
direction_selection_enabled
boolean

Adaptive provider selection. Reads true on a fresh install.

route_selection_enabled
boolean

Adaptive key selection. Reads true on a fresh install.

append_fallbacks_to_pinned
boolean

Add healthy fallbacks to requests that already name a provider. Reads false on a fresh install.

reroute_failed_directions
boolean

Redirect requests that name a failing provider. Reads false on a fresh install.

reroute_target
enum<string>
default:pool

Where a redirected request goes. pool picks among the eligible providers adaptive routing scores; fallbacks takes the request's first configured fallback that is not failing. An omitted or empty value is stored as pool. Any other value is rejected with 400.

Available options:
pool,
fallbacks
prune_failed_fallbacks
boolean

Skip failing providers in a request's configured fallbacks. Reads false on a fresh install.

history_enabled
boolean

Record routing history. Reads true on a fresh install.

Response

Settings saved and applied. Returns the saved settings, with an omitted reroute_target stored as pool.
