Description

Hello,

I'm using self-hosted deployment with a custom server extended with claimmapper which only extracts subject (either user or service but those are different JWT providers) from JWTs and authorizer which uses a custom RBAC from a YAML file with a difference on cluster permissions and namespace permissions.

If using the proxy, should I implement the external decision endpoint with this logic and removes it from Temporal Server ? Or is it both duplicated in the external decision endpoint and the self hosted deployment ?

Research direction

Begin with the proxy's external decision endpoint and the self-hosted deployment's claimmapper and authorizer configuration described in the issue. Determine how JWT providers, cluster permissions, and namespace permissions are expected to interact across the proxy and Temporal Server, then document the supported responsibility boundary.
