drpcli delegations

Manage DRP delegations (grants letting a trigger use your parameters)

Synopsis

Delegations let an unattended trigger use a bounded set of your parameters on your behalf.

A trigger normally runs with no user authority at all, so it cannot read parameters stored on a user. A delegation is how you grant it that access deliberately and narrowly:

  • User - whose parameters are being granted. You may only create a delegation naming yourself, and only while logged in - a token an administrator minted for you will not do.
  • Trigger - the single trigger authorized to read them. No other trigger is covered, even for the same user.
  • Params - the parameter globs in scope, such as email-triage/*. A glob made up entirely of wildcard characters (*, **, ?*, ...) is refused.
  • ExpiresAt - optional. When unset, the delegation does not expire.

A delegation stores no password or token. It is a permission record, so deleting it stops access immediately, including for a run already in flight. Anyone able to manage delegations may delete yours; only you can create one.

When a trigger fires, one work order is created per delegation naming it, so each grant produces its own run against its own user's parameters.

Common operations:

  • drpcli delegations list - list delegations
  • drpcli delegations show <name> - display one delegation
  • drpcli delegations create <json> - grant access
  • drpcli delegations destroy <name> - revoke access

Examples

Text Only
  # List all delegations
  drpcli delegations list

  # Show a specific delegation
  drpcli delegations show greg-email-triage

  # Grant the email-triage cron trigger access to your Gmail parameters
  drpcli delegations create '{"Name":"greg-email-triage","User":"greg","Trigger":"email-triage-cron","Params":["email-triage/*"]}'

  # Grant access from a JSON file
  drpcli delegations create - < delegation.json

  # Narrow an existing grant to two specific parameters
  drpcli delegations update greg-email-triage '{"Params":["email-triage/gmail-client-id","email-triage/gmail-refresh-token"]}'

  # Revoke access
  drpcli delegations destroy greg-email-triage
