Authentication and permissions

Token requirements: User-based token (OAuth) or Organization-scoped API key. Send a bearer access token for one of these identities. The permissions and resource restrictions below also apply.

Credential	Access requirements
Organization-scoped API key	`users:manage`
Team-scoped API key	Unsupported
User-based token (OAuth)	Supported, subject to permissions

Permissions joined by + are all required; or separates alternatives. Full-access keys still cannot call endpoints marked unsupported. Team keys must allow every team checked by the request. OAuth access depends on the user’s roles and resource access.

Manage a named user’s delegation: API keys must supply delegator_user_id when creating or listing delegations. Omitting it selects the current user. A team-restricted public key cannot authorize against a user.
