description: >-
  Scope grammar for JFrog Platform scoped access tokens — the credential used for the REST
  surface behind JFrog Container Registry. Read from JFrog's own access-token documentation;
  no OpenAPI securityScheme block exists to derive from (JFrog publishes no downloadable spec).
model: >-
  Since Artifactory 7.21.1 every access token is a SCOPED token. REST API access is granted by
  default; the scope string then adds the permissions the token carries. Scopes are passed as a
  space- or comma-delimited `scope` form field on POST /access/api/v1/tokens.
scopes:
  - name: applied-permissions/user
    description: >-
      The token carries exactly the permissions of the user it was created for. This is the
      default for a self-created identity token.
  - name: applied-permissions/admin
    description: >-
      Admin-level permissions across the platform. Only an Artifactory administrator can mint
      this. Used by companion services (Xray, Mission Control) that require admin access.
  - name: 'applied-permissions/groups:<group-name>[,<group-name>...]'
    description: The token is granted the permissions of the named group(s).
  - name: 'applied-permissions/roles:<project-key>:<role>[,<role>...]'
    description: >-
      Project-scoped role grant. Documented example —
      scope=applied-permissions/roles:project-key:developer,qa
  - name: 'system:info/storage:r'
    description: >-
      Resource-style read scope. Named explicitly by the Get Storage Summary Info operation,
      which states it "Requires authentication using Access Tokens, either as admin or using a
      scoped token with the system:info/storage:r scope."

token_kinds:
  - name: Identity token
    description: A user-scoped token any user can create for themselves.
    docs: https://docs.jfrog.com/user-management/docs/identity-tokens
  - name: Reference token
    description: >-
      A short opaque token that can be used in place of a password for basic authentication by
      clients that only support basic auth.
  - name: Admin scoped token
  - name: Project admin token
  - name: Group scoped token
notes:
  - >-
    A token's scope is visible in the Access Tokens UI as a Scope column from Artifactory 7.46.3.
  - >-
    This is not an RFC 6749 delegated-authorization scope list — JFrog's scopes are permission
    assertions minted into the token, not consented OAuth scopes on an authorization endpoint.
    The OAuth flow JFrog does expose is the MCP server's client authorization; its scope set is
    not published and could not be introspected anonymously.
