Send a user a new invitation (admin)

Docs version v1 (main)Nauthera is pre-1.0, in a design-partner program

POST/v1/admin/orgs/{slug}/users/{id}/invitation

Emails a user who has no password yet a new single-use link to choose one, as creating them with invite did. Earlier links keep working until they expire or one of them is accepted. Requires the users.create permission. The id must belong to slug's organization; one that belongs to another is answered as 404, exactly like an id that does not exist. Refused 409 conflict when the user already has a password, 409 mail_relay_missing when the organization has no email relay, and 429 too_many_requests once the user was sent auth.invitation.max_requests links within auth.invitation.validity.

No response body.

Authorization

Bearer tokenOAuth 2.0nauthera.users:write

The access token must carry the scope shown.

Send it in the Authorization header:

The access token, as Bearer <token> (RFC 6750 §2.1) or, for a sender-constrained token, DPoP <token> (RFC 9449 §7.1). A token minted with a cnf.jkt confirmation is only accepted together with a DPoP proof signed by that key, whichever of the two schemes carries it.

The caller must also hold the permission users.create: Create users.

Path parameters

slugstringrequired
The organization slug. It names the TENANT OF RECORD for the operation: the rows it reads and writes, the policy its secrets are derived under, and the organization its audit record is filed against all come from this organization. A token is admitted only through its own slug, except a main-org token, which may be admitted through any — so cross-tenant administration is performed through the TARGET tenant's slug, never by naming its resources through another. A token reaching for a slug it may not be admitted through is refused identically whether that organization exists or not.
1–64 characters
idstringrequired
The user id (UUID).
1–64 characters

Headers

DPoPstring
DPoP proof JWT (RFC 9449 §4). REQUIRED on a request presenting a DPoP-bound access token, and it must be signed by the key named in the token's cnf.jkt and cover this request's method and URI. The proof is read from the request itself rather than from this decoded parameter, so every protected operation is covered whether or not it declares it.

Request body

application/json · optional

An email the admin API sends a user on an administrator's behalf.

localestring
The language to write the email in, a BCP 47 tag. One the server does not ship falls back to the organization's, then English.
at most 35 characters

No other properties are accepted.

Body
RFC 9457 (formerly RFC 7807) problem details (application/problem+json). code is a stable machine-readable slug for the problem kind (it mirrors the last path segment of type), so consumers can branch on it without parsing prose. type is https://nauthera.io/problems/<code>, which resolves to the code's runbook: why it happened, who is affected and what to do (RFC 9457 §3.1.1). A problem without a code has about:blank. errors is present on validation failures and lists every offending field.

  The kind of problem, as a stable machine-readable slug a client branches on and translates rather than parsing title or detail, which are English prose for logs. A problem whose status says everything the server knows carries no code.

  validation_error is the one code whose message is not a sentence about the code itself: the request failed the schema, and the specifics are the errors list — one entry per offending field — which a form renders on those fields. required and malformed are spelled like two of the per-field violation codes (FieldError.code) but mean something else; the two vocabularies are told apart by position, never by spelling.
  
  Compatibility: this is a CLOSED enum, with the same cost as AuditAction: a client generated against an older version of this document rejects a problem carrying a code added after it was built. Regenerate on upgrade, or decode the field as a plain string. It is enumerated anyway so that what a client must translate is knowable from the contract alone.
