Client Scope & Claim Governance

Status

This concept is planned in the documentation information architecture but is not fully documented yet.

What This Page Will Explain

This page is expected to describe the policy-driven model that controls which clients may request which scopes and what claims appear in issued tokens. It will cover how Keymate prevents privilege escalation and ensures that tokens carry only the claims required for the target resource.

Context already established:

Keymate governs OAuth scopes and token claims through a policy-driven model that controls which clients may request which scopes and what claims appear in issued tokens. This governance layer prevents privilege escalation and ensures that tokens carry only the claims required for the target resource.

Without scope and claim governance, clients can request overly broad access, and tokens may leak sensitive attributes. Keymate's governance model enforces least-privilege at the token level, aligning issued claims with the client's authorized purpose.

Current State

The scope and claim governance model is operational but the detailed documentation of policy rules and configuration has not been finalized.

Why This Page Is a Placeholder

This placeholder preserves the planned documentation structure without documenting behavior that has not been verified against the identity provider configuration.
