Description
Description
- Endpoints to extend/create (mapping directly to the document's contract):
- List roles available in an existing scope (
GET /api/authz/v1/roles/?scope=<scope>)
- List roles available in an existing scope (
- Data source: these endpoints must read directly from the loaded definitions, not maintain a parallel copy.
- Response format: design the JSON response with the Administrative Console as the direct consumer — it likely makes sense to align the response shape with the fields defined in the ADR.
Proposed ADR: https://github.com/openedx/openedx-authz/pull/425
Concrete deliverable: a client (including the Admin Console) can retrieve all the information needed to list and describe a scope's roles/permissions without knowing in advance which ones exist.
