  and https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html — the
  OpenAPI in this repo declares no securitySchemes (the AWS query protocol carries
  auth in signed request headers rather than OpenAPI security objects), so this
  profile is captured from the AWS documentation.

  note: >-
    Amazon Secrets Manager uses AWS Signature Version 4 (SigV4) request signing,
    not API keys or OAuth. Authorization is enforced by AWS IAM identity-based
    policies and Secrets Manager resource-based (secret) policies. There is no
    OAuth scope surface, so no scopes/ artifact is produced for this provider.

    type: sigv4
    description: >-
      Every request is signed with AWS Signature Version 4 using the caller's
      access key ID and secret access key (plus a session token for temporary
      credentials). The signature is carried in the Authorization header along
      with X-Amz-Date; the operation is selected via the X-Amz-Target header
      (e.g. secretsmanager.GetSecretValue).

authorization:
  model: AWS IAM + resource-based policies
  identity_based: >-
    IAM identity-based policies grant secretsmanager:* actions (e.g.
    secretsmanager:GetSecretValue, secretsmanager:CreateSecret) to users/roles.
  resource_based: >-
    Secret resource policies (PutResourcePolicy) enable cross-account and
    fine-grained principal access to individual secrets.
  kms: >-
    Callers also need kms:Decrypt/kms:GenerateDataKey on the customer-managed KMS
    key when the secret is encrypted with a non-default key.
