Authorization

All endpoints are secured, so only an authenticated user can access them. As Authentication mechanism the default IONOS Cloud authentication mechanism is used. A detailed description can be found here.

Basic Auth

The basic auth scheme uses the IONOS Cloud user credentials in form of a Basic Authentication header accordingly to RFC 7617.

API Key as Bearer Token

The Bearer auth token used at the API Gateway is a user-related token created with the IONOS Cloud CLI (For details, see the documentation). For every request to be authenticated, the token is passed as Authorization Bearer header along with the request.

Permissions and Access Roles

Currently, an administrator can see and manipulate all resources in a contract. Furthermore, users with the group privilege Manage Dataplatform can access the API.
