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. See Required permissions for how permissions are derived and which endpoints are exempt.
