Purpose

The design specification for the M2M Access Across Organization Units as discussed in: #5461

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a draft specification for machine-to-machine token requests scoped to organization units, including an optional organization-unit-qualified token endpoint and its proposed availability defaults.
    • The specification covers authentication and access checks, application sharing policies, token claims, resource permission limits, configuration, validation, and error handling.
    • It also describes policy declarations and application management APIs. The document outlines proposed behavior and does not announce that these capabilities are available.

📝 Walkthrough

This draft specification describes OU-qualified M2M token requests, application sharing policies, token claim and scope rules, configuration, proposed management APIs, and acceptance criteria.

Changes: OU-qualified M2M access

Layer / File(s) Summary
Qualified token flow
docs-internals/ou-management/m2m-access-across-ous/spec.md
Specifies the optional OU-qualified token route, authentication and OU resolution order, client admission checks, and refusal behavior.
Sharing policy definition and management
docs-internals/ou-management/m2m-access-across-ous/spec.md
Defines policy reach, resource-file declarations, store-mode and lifecycle rules, and application-scoped management operations and validation.
Token rules and configuration
docs-internals/ou-management/m2m-access-across-ous/spec.md
Defines token claim selection and scope limits, route and cross-tree configuration, acceptance criteria, and changelog entries.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to beb7f

The spec gives conflicting organization-claim sources for some bare-endpoint grants; align them before implementation relies on this behavior. Non-client-credentials grants are explicitly rejected on the qualified endpoint.

- Around line 101-116: Update the policy semantics in the specification to
define how target reaches combine after each target’s exclusions, explicitly
stating the admission result when `allChildren` excludes B and a separate
`child` target names B. Align AC3.2, AC3.5, AC6.1, and AC6.2 with that chosen
composition rule.

61-61: Define grant handling on the qualified route.

AC5.4 specifies the claims for grants other than client_credentials, but the specification does not state whether the qualified route accepts those grants. The route also uses the path OU for admission and scope filtering. State whether the route rejects other grants or how the path OU affects their admission and scopes.

Also applies to: 140-140, 148-152, 320-320

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Correct the specification typos.

Line 65 says “will follows”; use “will follow.” Line 67 says “at al”; use “at all.” Line 184 says “sub resource”; use “subresource.”

Where an application opted into the organization claims, the token names the organization unit it was issued for rather than the application's owner.

The claims are resolved apart from the subject attributes and handed to the token builder in a field of their own, so the accessing unit takes precedence without the two sources racing. A request with no accessing organization unit falls back to the application's own, unchanged, which is what keeps the other grant types working: only the client credentials grant carries an accessing organization unit today.

Align the organization-claim source for other grants.

For a non-client-credentials grant on the bare /oauth2/token endpoint, line 167 selects the application's organization unit, while AC5.4 selects the subject's organization unit. The qualified route's restriction on other grants does not resolve this bare-endpoint conflict. Specify the intended source and align the other statement.
