We have content manager account which has been granted to access to all channels we have.
We do authorization procedure for each service accounts to get access tokens for analytics-API,
it works well, but it also demands when new channel is added.
Is it possible that issuing an access token via client id of content manager account, and use it to call API to access all channels that content manager account handles?
Youtube api is channel + user based. Each access token is authorized to access a single user + channel.
If you have five channels you will need to login five times and each access token you get back will have access to the single channel.
I found that I can call api with id set 'contentOnwer==id_of_content_manager'. And it is able to access to all data from channels this account manages.

I am trying to get the impersonated userguid from the docusign api. Per the documentation I need to call /restapi/v2/accounts/account_id/users?email=email, which is not working for me. I assume the full url would be https://admin.docusign.com/restapi/v2/accounts/account_id/users?email="sampleemail#gmail.com" .
I am getting a 404 when entering my email in the above format.
Looks like you have the incorrect domain. API Calls generally don't get made against admin.docusign.com. You'll want to make that call against the Application Server your account is on.
In the Sandbox environment that will be demo.docusign.net. In prod you'd need to make a UserInfo call to determine which server your account is on. It could be something like www.docusign.net or na2.docusign.net, but there are several possible domains.
In order to get Impersonate GUID ,
Login to admin account
Under setting options Click API and keys
Value under the user id text box is Impersonate GUID
During configuration & setup:
1. You have an account admin enter information such as account, their userId ("API User Name" in web app). Save both items.
2. You follow the "consent flow", get their consent, generate a JWT and
exchange for a token.
3. Use the /user_info call against the account
server to get the list of their accounts. If more than one account
in the array, find the one that matches what they entered in the
configuration. Get and save the associated "base_uri". You will
use that for all subsequent API calls.
Your application now has stored the account ID, the admin's "userId", and the base URI to built API URLs.
During business application operations:
Admin is "Bob". Sender is "Jill"
You need to get an access token for Jill.
1. Create JWT for Bob, exchange for access token, make GET /users?email={Jill's email). This gives you Jill's "userId".
2. Create JWT for Jill, exchange for access token.
3. Make API call as Jill, using her access token.
I need to be able to do the operations that keycloak do when using identity provider: login/logout/create account/link account, via api, not via html.
I am unable to find in your documentation how can i do these actions, all the documentation is based on html and a series of redirect, by using keycloak and its theme.
This is not compatible with a single page application, or ios/android native application.
Examples:
Get token and refresh token by using Identity Provider brokering (google/facebook), for existing/already linked accounts, when i already have the google/facebook token.
Required steps:
I get the google or facebook token, outside of keycloak.
I need to post this token into identity provider broker.
I need to receive from this response, the authorization and refresh tokens, just like i do a login with user/pass by using route ".../protocol/openid-connect/token"
Create a new account with the user received from Identity Provider, when i already have the google/facebook token.
Required steps:
I get the google or facebook token, outside of keycloak.
I need to post this token into identity provider broker.
I receive that there is no such user, and if i want to create the user.
I post that i want to create the new account.
I need to receive from this response, the authorization and refresh tokens, just like i do a login with user/pass by using route ".../protocol/openid-connect/token"
Link an existing account, with the google/facebook account received by Identity Provider.
Required steps:
I get the google or facebook token, outside of keycloak.
I need to post this token into identity provider broker.
I receive the information that the same account exist, and if i want to link the account.
I post that i want to link the account.
I need to receive from this response, the authorization and refresh tokens, just like i do a login with user/pass by using route ".../protocol/openid-connect/token"
I tried to do hacks and ajax calls, instead of html request, but in the end it does not resolve my problem, because i don't know what happened: it logged in? it created an account? it requires to link account?
I am working to build an application which would be able to create custom audiences for many of our clients for facebook ads. I came to know that the most suitable access token for this purpose is system user token (correct me if I am wrong). To get regular user access tokens, we can make a user go through the traditional oAuth flow, I am looking for something similar to get system user access token. How can I get it for any of my clients? Thanks
You must create your system users in the Business Manager of your company:
https://business.facebook.com/settings/system-users?business_id=<YOUR_BUSINESS_ID>
Once you create a system user, you can generate a token for him associated with a given app.
Meanwhile, on your business settings (as stated in the docs) you can request access to an ad_account.
Request Access to an Ad Account: If you request access to an ad
account in Business Manager, the admin of that Business Manager can
grant you permission to work on it.
Once your client gives your Business permission to work with one or more of their ad_accounts, those ad_accounts will appear in your Business Manager. (menu on the left).
At that point, when checking the profile of your system users, you can click on assign assets to give the system user access to pages and ad_accounts.
The token you generated for the pair [system_user,app_id] does not need to be reissued to reflect the addition of assets to which the system_user has access.
I'm trying to figure out how to use the Azure Graph API to query a user's full name (first and last) from a given username. I understand I can do this with the following Graph API call...
https://graph.windows.net/myorganization/users/{user_id}?api-version
However, I am not sure how I go about getting an access token to use with this, because this process will be called without a user logging in, which is usually how we obtain an access token.
Is there anyway I can pass a username/password to a given URL using cURL or something and obtain an access token that way, so it is done behind-the-scenes?
There are two main authentication methods which are supported by OAuth 2:
Authorization Code Grant Flow
Client Credentials Grant Flow
The first flow requires a user agent to be present to sign into the client service and results in a delegated token. The second method does not require a user to sign in, as it only authenticates using the client secret; this results in an app only token.
If you want to create a background service that captures data from the AAD Graph API, you can absolutely do this using the Client Credentials Grant Flow, which does not require a user to be present at any point during the authentication flow.
You simply need to configure your application to to have app only scopes. Read here: Permission scopes | Graph API concepts. App only scopes all require tenant administrators to consent to the application in order to get access to data.
Finally, I feel I must mention that there is another less used flow specified in the OAuth 2 spec: Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant. This flow specifies how a client application who has knowledge of a user's username and password could directly pass those parameters and get an access token on behalf of the user. However using this flow is not good practice at all.
The resource owner password credentials grant type is suitable in
cases where the resource owner has a trust relationship with the
client, such as the device operating system or a highly privileged
application. The authorization server should take special care when
enabling this grant type and only allow it when other flows are not
viable.
We support this in our V1 endpoint, but not in our new V2 endpoint. You can read this blog to learn more.
If I add authentication in Azure Mobile Service with Google as the provider, I go and create an app, get the app_id and secret and plug it in. Great, now users can authenticate with google and get a user token. Now they are considered an "authenticated user" wrt the table permissions.
However, I don't want to authorize everyone with a google account access to my API. Is it possible to limit this to a list of known users? Must I check every request for specific user ids?
Perhaps social login is not the best choice here and I should use something else like Azure AD?
We added custom authentication provider to wams and synchronize the social account with "our" user-account that is stored in the database. For protected web api methods a user account needs to be activated first. You have to check manually whether an account is activated/ high privileged or not and return the result or unauthorized status code.
I decided to use Azure Active Directory to solve this problem. This way, I can create users in Azure AD but not have to manage users myself in the back end. With this choice I am still able to chose the only authenticated users permission level without having to check on every rest endpoint that the authentication users is one of the ones I want to grant access to.
