-**QBit Authentik**: a QQQ QBit to manage Authentik users, groups, memberships and group-granted QQQ permissions from a QQQ app. Authentik's database is the source of truth; the qbit reads live and (from phase 2) writes through the Authentik API. Design: `docs/DESIGN.md` (approved spec, QRun-IO/qqq#1065). Current line: 0.1 = read-only (phases 0-1).

 - `AuthentikRuntime` (registry by API backend name): config, `TokenBucketThrottle` (10 rps, burst 20 by default), `AuthentikGuard`, `AuthentikFilterMapper`, response cache, and the table-name to `AuthentikTableSpec` map.
 - `client/AuthentikActionUtil extends BaseAPIActionUtil` is the only code that talks to Authentik.
   - `doQuery`/`doCount`/`doGet` use page/page_size paging (max 100). Key-only filters become per-id GETs. The user scope and type filters are applied server-side and re-checked per record.
-  - Writes go to the guard, which refuses them in 0.1.
+  - The generic table writes (`doInsert`/`doUpdate`/`doDelete`) are refused. Changes use `write(WriteAuthorization, ...)` or `writeAs(bearer, WriteAuthorization, ...)`, and only `AuthentikGuard.authorize(AdminAction)` mints a `WriteAuthorization` (an architecture test pins callers to `AuthentikAdmin` and its `AuthentikTokens` delegate).
   - `execute()` is the single request loop: throttle, bearer header, 429/5xx retry, error mapping, logging.
   - `send()` is the test seam (`FixtureActionUtil`, `QbitReadContractIT.RecordingActionUtil`).
 - `client/AuthentikTables` maps tables to the pinned schema (users, groups, sessions, events), plus the **virtual** `groupMember` table, which `AuthentikActionUtil.memberships()` serves from a group, a user, or a bounded sweep. `client/AuthentikApiSurface` lists every operation and parameter used. `SchemaDriftTest` and `SchemaDriftIT` check that surface.
 - `client/AuthentikFilterMapper` maps a QQQ filter to Authentik params, or rejects it with a `QUserFacingException`. It never filters client-side.
-- `security/AuthentikGuard` handles read and write permission checks, the user scope, and protected-account detection. `security/IdentityPermission` is the `identity.*` catalog (session form `<name>.hasAccess`).
+- `security/AuthentikGuard` handles read permission checks, write authorization, the user scope, and protected-account detection. `security/IdentityPermission` is the `authentik.*` catalog (session form `<name>.hasAccess`).
+- `admin/AuthentikAdmin` plans and performs every change (`AdminAction`, `AdminRequest`, `AdminPlan`): the guardrails of DESIGN.md 5.4 run against LIVE Authentik data and the operator's LIVE groups (never the session claim) at plan time and again at execute time; the audit row (`AdminActionAuditor`, table `authentik_admin_action`) is written BEFORE the call and the call is not made if that fails; then the change, then an Authentik `custom_qqq_admin_action` event. `AuthentikSafety` holds the pure rules (subset rule helpers, last-admin, fingerprints). Granting `authentik.*` queues an `authentik_approval_request` for a second person (`approve`/`reject`).
+- `admin/AuthentikTokens` implements DESIGN section 13: personal calls use an action-scoped exchanged bearer; service-account calls use the qbit bearer. One-time keys never enter records, process values, audit or event context. `TokenKeyDelivery` refuses key-producing actions when core has no response-only secret channel.
+- `processes/AuthentikProcesses`: every action is a standard streamed-ETL table or record action (details screen, Review = dry run, Result), never in the nav. The ETL defaults to full validation, so the Review screen already holds the dry-run lines. The preview step's record count is NOT carried to later steps (and a client count needs `setDistinctCount`), so steps count targets themselves.
+- `app/`: `AuthentikHomeData`/`AuthentikHomeView` (the single home widget, HTML with no tables) and `AuthentikRelations` (joins, child-list widgets and sections so sub-tables appear on their parents, not in the nav).
 - `permissions/GroupGraph` + `EffectivePermissionResolver` (pure) turn groups and their ancestors into QQQ permissions. The util caches the graph for `groupCacheTtlSeconds` and uses it for derived fields.
-- `drift/AuthentikDriftReport` holds the drift checks, using only the service account's read permissions. It is rendered by `metadata/AuthentikDriftReportWidgetRenderer`, a standard TABLE widget gated by `identity.admin`.
+- `drift/AuthentikDriftReport` holds the drift checks, using only the service account's read permissions. It is rendered by `metadata/AuthentikDriftReportWidgetRenderer`, a standard TABLE widget gated by `authentik.admin`.
 
 ## Invariants (do not break)
 
-- Every `AuthentikActionUtil` entry point calls the guard first (QQQ core does not enforce permissions for non-HTTP callers, qqq#1061).
+- Every `AuthentikActionUtil` entry point calls the guard first (in addition to core action permission enforcement, retain Authentik-specific rules and protection for direct util calls).
 - Never log query strings (search terms are PII), the token, successful GET bodies, or bodies of sensitive endpoints; run anything stored through `AuthentikRedactor`.
 - Never filter client-side; reject what Authentik cannot evaluate.
 - Multi-value params are repeated plain names (`type=a&type=b`). Authentik silently ignores `type[]=`.
 - The user detail GET takes no `include_*` params. Groups have no `last_updated` in 2026.8.
 - `check_access?for_user=` is useless for the service account: it is silently evaluated for the caller. Never use it for other users.
-- The service account must never be a superuser and never hold `enable_group_superuser`, token-key, impersonate or delete permissions.
+- Only `AuthentikAdmin` and its `AuthentikTokens` delegate may call `AuthentikActionUtil.write` / `writeAs`. Every write needs a reason, passes the guard, and is audited first.
+- `recovery_email` needs the brand to have a recovery flow ("No recovery flow set." otherwise), the role's `add_user` (DRF maps POST to add) plus `reset_user_password`, and `view_emailstage` on the stage.
+- The service account must never be a superuser and never hold `enable_group_superuser` or impersonate permissions; never token-key READ (view_token_key); add_token and set_token_key only for service-account creation and rotation (add_token cannot mint for others); `delete_user`/`delete_group` only when the host turns the `DELETE` feature on.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+- **Breaking (security):** `AuthentikMaintenance.applyPolicy` runs as the host's maintenance service principal (QQQ service identities, qqq `docs/SERVICE-IDENTITY.md`; config `maintenancePrincipal`, default `maintenance`). The self-made `MaintenanceSession`, which granted itself `policies.manage` and the document's grants, is gone; under OAuth2 it was rejected anyway (its audit insert failed). The principal's Authentik service account must hold `policies.manage` and every grant it applies, and the subset rule still holds. The audit operator is `service:{principal}`; the job name (`run-once:`/`maintenance:`) prefixes the reason. Hosts declare the principal: `ServiceIdentitiesMetaData.declare(qInstance, new QServicePrincipalMetaData().withName("maintenance"))`. Needs the QQQ release with service identities (qqq#1255).
+- Fix: a degraded `authentik.mapper` health check now says what to fix. The message and details (`flaggedGroups`, `summary`) name each flagged group with a safe reason: `grants nothing: <permission>`, `malformed <attribute>` or `superuser group carries qqq.io/permissions`. It used to say only "Mapper drift detected". Typed attribute values and service-account activity subjects (people) stay out of the outcome. A group with no `qqq.io/*` attributes is not drift and never was.
+- Fix: the `token_broker` health check probes with the grant the broker uses (token exchange) and sends no subject token, so nothing is issued. `invalid_request` (credentials passed) is UP, `invalid_client` is DOWN (bad secret), and `invalid_grant` is DOWN (provider does not allow token exchange). It used to probe `client_credentials`, which the broker provider does not allow, so Authentik logged a 400 every 5 minutes ("Invalid grant_type for provider").
+- Replace expired token-delivery and credential-scope reflection bridges with the RC.7 APIs; retain conservative permission narrowing and explicit unavailable-delivery tests.
+- Ship the expanded, host-neutral QBIT help bundle using QQQ 4.1.0-RC.7 registration and validation, with coverage for optional features and live references. Preserve inline app/table help for hosts without help storage; document HOST bundle overrides.
+
+- Guided empty states: `help/qbit-authentik.yaml` (QQQ help-bundle format) gives the Identity app and all 15 tables a summary and a "How rows get created" section; the 11 API-backed tables say they are read live from Authentik and what an empty list means (no permission, feature or invitation flow not enabled, or Authentik has none). Applied inline by `AuthentikHelp` as well as registered with core, which fills only empty slots and follows the host's `tableNamePrefix`. `AuthentikTablesGuardrailTest` pins that every table is used at runtime, explained and documented. No schema, config or seed changes.
+- `AuthentikQBitConfig.fullAccessHostPermissions` lets a host declare permission names core cannot enumerate (custom checkers, named permissions); full access expands to them at use time, for the instance holding that runtime's backend only.
+- `AuthentikMaintenance.applyPolicy` lets reviewed host run-once jobs apply a policy to an exact group name through the existing audited Save Policy path. Dedicated maintenance identities, full-access expansion, canonical no-ops, context restoration, stale checks and optional two-person approval are covered; system-session writes remain forbidden. No HTTP route or process is registered.
+
+- Explicit full-access policy statement (`Action: ["*"], Resource: ["*"]`) resolves against all current core and qbit permissions, including features, READ_WRITE `write`, identity names and future resources. Added canonical round trips, complete-set save authorization, last-admin removal protection and the editor `fullAccess` payload contract; named-resource wildcards retain their five-action meaning.
+
+- Edit Policy supplies per-member preview data for up to 200 active, in-scope direct and descendant members, with relevant direct group names, base permissions excluding only the edited policy, a truncation flag, and the configured mapper-enabled flag. The Next UI can compute effective permissions and additions/removals locally while preserving inherited, named, static and bootstrap grants.
+- Service-account lifetime caps use the user attribute (`serviceAccountTokenLifetime`, default `days=365`), preserving other attributes and requiring no special group.
+- `TokenContractIT` on Authentik 2026.8.3 (9 tests) with the production token blueprint: token exchange as the user, the broker deny policy, the `qqq_token` claim, PATCH defaults, the expiry cap, service-account create/set_key/extend, the detective alarm, and the qbit lifecycle with the one-time key absent from audit rows and events.
+
+### Added (central health)
+- `authentik.api`, `authentik.api_token`, `authentik.mapper`, and `authentik.token_broker` dependency checks registered by the producer, with safe details and bounded requests through the existing client.
+- Client-credentials broker probe using the existing token transport; its bearer is discarded.
+
+### Removed (central health)
+- The Identity home Connection health card, its direct version/token-expiry probes, and its inline mapper status. A single central component status links to System Health. The configuration drift-report widget is retained.
+
+### Added (access tokens 6c)
+- Read-only and app/table scopes, validated at Review and execution and enforced after claims permissions; revoked credentials fail closed. Optional core credential-scope bridge for #1153.
+- Last-used login activity (90-day window, five-minute cache), creation time and scope summaries; API tokens are explicitly not tracked.
+- Daily expiry reminders with persistent per-window deduplication and optional Alerts delivery; high-severity guard-bypass alerts.
+- A standard Access tokens TABLE widget with owner counts, age buckets and cleanup links, plus the existing record/list bulk revoke action.
+
+### Added (access tokens, DESIGN.md section 13)
+- Default-on `TOKENS` with personal create/rotate/revoke/extend, service-account creation and rotation, protected-owner guardrails and optional two-person approval.
+- Action-scoped OAuth2 token exchange, response-only one-time key delivery (fail closed on older QQQ), generated usage instructions and non-secret token scope records.
+- Token-manager read access, expanded token metadata, secret redaction and in-memory process/persistence tests.
+
+### Changed (core baseline, #20 / F19)
+- Build against the released QQQ BOM `4.1.0-RC.6` through the existing `qqq.snapshot.version` property; no core SNAPSHOT is used. Adopt `qbit-build-parent:2.1.0` with `qbit.guardrails.enforce=true`.
+- Core actions now enforce permissions for non-HTTP callers. Authentik-specific guards remain for direct util calls and domain rules. See [UPGRADE.md](UPGRADE.md) for host impact and feature registration requirements.
+- Replace the expired feature-catalog stand-in with real `TableFeaturePermissionsMetaData` registrations and remove the test-only `PolicyCatalog` permission-source overload. Feature discovery uses the core catalog without static mocking.
+
+### Added (automated sessions)
+- `AuthentikGroupPermissionMapper` resolves tokenless automated sessions by a unique active Authentik email match, applying direct and inherited group permissions, static fallbacks and the sign-in cut-over guard while preserving existing session permissions.
+
+### Added (table feature permissions)
+- Policies can grant table feature permissions (e.g. analyze, comment) registered through core TableFeaturePermissionsMetaData
+
+### Added (policy cut-over, DESIGN.md section 12.8)
+- `AuthentikHostPermissionSource` SPI (today's access) and config `mapperEnabled`, `cutoverGuardGroups`, `mapperOverride`, `staticGroupPermissions`.
+- **Enforcement status**: banner widget `authentikPolicyEnforcement` (first on group and policy records and on the Edit Policy step) and a "Policies at sign-in" row in the home's Connection card: OFF, ACTIVE, OVERRIDDEN or BLOCKED.
+- **Compare Access** widget `authentikCompareAccess` on the app home (`authentik.admin`, read only): per active person, today vs the mapper, with added, removed and unchanged, and the guard result.
+- **Cut-over guard**: while a member of a guarded group would lose a permission (and no override), the mapper grants today's access plus the static fallback and bootstrap subjects instead of the policies.
+- **Generate Policy From Current Access** group action: the expressible part of today's access (joined with the current policy) becomes the policy, named permissions go to `qqq.io/permissions`, the rest is listed; Review shows the document and diff.
+
+### Added (full user and group CRUD, phase 5c: DESIGN.md section 12.5)
+- **Edit User** also changes the username (validated, unique) and the other attributes (a JSON object; reserved `qqq.io/` and `goauthentik.io/` keys are kept and cannot be set; blank leaves them as they are; editing attributes needs `authentik.audit.read`, which is also what shows them on the form). **Edit Group** edits other attributes the same way.
+- **Delete User** and **Delete Group** record actions behind the new `DELETE` feature (off by default; needs Authentik's `delete_user` / `delete_group`). Typed confirmation; never yourself, a protected account, a superuser group or the last identity administrator; a group must have no members and no child groups first; the group's `authentik_policy` row goes with it. Deactivate stays the default for people.
+
 ### Added (policy editor, phase 5b: DESIGN.md section 12.4)
 - **Edit Policy** record action on groups and on policies (feature `POLICIES`, permission `authentik.policies.manage`): a standard streamed-ETL action whose step shows the `AUTHENTIK_POLICY_EDITOR` widget (Next UI). Review parses the submitted document (fail closed), regenerates it in canonical form with the round-trip check, refuses new resources this app does not define, applies the subset rule to the permissions it adds, and lists what is added and removed. Result merge-patches `qqq.io/policy` into the group's current attributes (removed when empty). Optional second-person approval (`policyTwoPersonApproval`).
 - **`PolicyCatalog`**: every app, table, process (hidden record actions included), report and protected widget a policy can grant, with the actions QQQ checks, grouped by app. Its permission names join the permission catalog.

 - `client/AuthentikActionUtil extends BaseAPIActionUtil` is the only code that talks to Authentik.

-  - The generic table writes (`doInsert`/`doUpdate`/`doDelete`) are refused. The only way to change Authentik is `write(WriteAuthorization, ...)`, and only `AuthentikGuard.authorize(AdminAction)` mints a `WriteAuthorization` (an architecture test pins that only `AuthentikAdmin` calls it).

   - `execute()` is the single request loop: throttle, bearer header, 429/5xx retry, error mapping, logging.
   - `send()` is the test seam (`FixtureActionUtil`, `QbitReadContractIT.RecordingActionUtil`).
 - `client/AuthentikTables` maps tables to the pinned schema (users, groups, sessions, events), plus the **virtual** `groupMember` table, which `AuthentikActionUtil.memberships()` serves from a group, a user, or a bounded sweep. `client/AuthentikApiSurface` lists every operation and parameter used. `SchemaDriftTest` and `SchemaDriftIT` check that surface.
 - `client/AuthentikFilterMapper` maps a QQQ filter to Authentik params, or rejects it with a `QUserFacingException`. It never filters client-side.
 - `security/AuthentikGuard` handles read permission checks, write authorization, the user scope, and protected-account detection. `security/IdentityPermission` is the `authentik.*` catalog (session form `<name>.hasAccess`).
 - `admin/AuthentikAdmin` plans and performs every change (`AdminAction`, `AdminRequest`, `AdminPlan`): the guardrails of DESIGN.md 5.4 run against LIVE Authentik data and the operator's LIVE groups (never the session claim) at plan time and again at execute time; the audit row (`AdminActionAuditor`, table `authentik_admin_action`) is written BEFORE the call and the call is not made if that fails; then the change, then an Authentik `custom_qqq_admin_action` event. `AuthentikSafety` holds the pure rules (subset rule helpers, last-admin, fingerprints). Granting `authentik.*` queues an `authentik_approval_request` for a second person (`approve`/`reject`).
+- `admin/AuthentikTokens` implements DESIGN section 13: personal calls use an action-scoped exchanged bearer; service-account calls use the qbit bearer. One-time keys never enter records, process values, audit or event context. `TokenKeyDelivery` refuses key-producing actions when core has no response-only secret channel.
 - `processes/AuthentikProcesses`: every action is a standard streamed-ETL table or record action (details screen, Review = dry run, Result), never in the nav.

 - Never filter client-side; reject what Authentik cannot evaluate.
 - Multi-value params are repeated plain names (`type=a&type=b`). Authentik silently ignores `type[]=`.
 - The user detail GET takes no `include_*` params. Groups have no `last_updated` in 2026.8.
 - `check_access?for_user=` is useless for the service account: it is silently evaluated for the caller. Never use it for other users.

 A QQQ QBit to manage [Authentik](https://goauthentik.io) identities from a QQQ app: **the full user lifecycle, and groups with the permissions they grant**. Authentik stays the source of truth. The qbit reads Authentik live and writes through the Authentik API, never its database. Changes made in the Authentik admin UI are equally valid, and the qbit never overwrites them blindly.

 | | |
 |---|---|
-| **People** | Create a user (Authentik emails them a link to set their own password; QQQ never sets or sees one), invite, edit, deactivate and reactivate, send a password reset email, reset MFA, revoke app passwords, revoke sessions, cancel invitations. No hard delete. |
-| **Groups and permissions** | Create and edit groups (parents), add and remove members, and edit the QQQ permissions and app sign-in a group grants (`qqq.io/permissions`, `qqq.io/app-access` on the Authentik group). |
+| **Access tokens** | Create and rotate your personal access tokens, revoke (including bulk), extend expiry, and create service accounts. Enabled with any write feature; opt out with `tokensEnabled=false` or `AUTHENTIK_QBIT_TOKENS=false`. Keys are response-only and shown once; key-producing actions require QQQ 4.1.0-RC.7+ one-time output support. See [Access tokens](docs/ACCESS-TOKENS.md). |
+| **People** | Create a user (Authentik emails them a link to set their own password; QQQ never sets or sees one), invite, edit, deactivate and reactivate, send a password reset email, reset MFA, revoke app passwords, revoke sessions, cancel invitations. Edit covers username, name, email, path and other attributes. Delete is a separate, explicit action behind the `DELETE` feature (off by default); deactivate stays the default. |
+| **Groups and permissions** | Create, edit (parents, other attributes) and delete groups, add and remove members, and edit the QQQ permissions and app sign-in a group grants (`qqq.io/permissions`, `qqq.io/app-access` on the Authentik group). |
+| **Policies** | IAM-style policy documents on groups (`qqq.io/policy`, format in [docs/POLICY-FORMAT.md](docs/POLICY-FORMAT.md)), edited with a matrix of the app's apps, tables, processes and reports and a live JSON preview (Next UI widget `AUTHENTIK_POLICY_EDITOR`). At sign-in they become QQQ permissions through `AuthentikGroupPermissionMapper`, or through the token claim with `AuthentikPolicyClaimMapper`. Parsing fails closed. |
 | **Safety** | Operators can only grant permissions they hold themselves. No self-edits. Break-glass, the service account and superusers are untouchable, and superuser groups cannot be managed. The last administrator cannot be removed. Granting `authentik.*` needs a second person. Destructive actions need a reason and a typed confirmation. A change made in the Authentik UI after you opened a form is detected, not overwritten. |
 | **Audit** | Every attempt is a row in `authentik_admin_action` (written before the call), and Authentik's own event log gets a `custom_qqq_admin_action` event naming the human operator. |
-| **Screens** | A home dashboard (what needs attention, people, groups, recent changes, connection), standard tables with full record screens, and every action as a table or record action with the usual Review and Result steps. Nothing is in the nav except the main tables. |

+Nothing is seeded: there are no starter defaults to include in a changelog. Setup comes from `AuthentikQBitConfig` (URL, API token, features, read-only mode), and the Identity home's "Needs attention" card lists what is left. The tables are of two kinds:
+
+- **API-backed (live):** `authentik_user`, `_group`, `_group_member` (virtual), `_session`, `_event`, `_application`, `_policy_binding`, `_blueprint`, `_role`, `_token`, `_invitation`. Every row is read from Authentik on each view and nothing is stored locally. An empty list means Authentik returned nothing to you: your role lacks the permission, the qbit's feature or invitation flow is not enabled, or Authentik has no such records. Read-only mode only blocks changes.
+- **Local (the qbit's own records):** `authentik_admin_action` (audit trail), `authentik_approval_request`, `authentik_policy` and `authentik_token_scope`. They fill as people run actions, and are written only by the qbit.
+
+Every table, and the app, ships help (`help/qbit-authentik.yaml`, the QQQ help-bundle format) that says what the table is for, how its rows get created and, for the live tables, what an empty list means. The Next UI shows it as the empty state. A host's own help on a table is never replaced, and a host's `tableNamePrefix` is applied to the bundle's table names. `AuthentikTablesGuardrailTest` fails when a table is added without runtime use, a documented reason it starts empty, and this help.

 ### Authentik side
 
-The qbit's API token belongs to a dedicated Authentik service account whose role holds only the permissions it needs (DESIGN.md section 5.1), created by a bootstrap blueprint in the host's GitOps repository. It is never a superuser and never holds `enable_group_superuser`, token-key, impersonate or delete permissions.

Personal token operations use an exchanged user bearer from the confidential token broker, never the qbit bearer. The `DELETE` feature also needs `delete_user` and `delete_group`.

Configure `tokenBrokerClientId`, `tokenBrokerClientSecret` (environment references supported), `appClientId`, `appPublicUrl` and `authentikPublicUrl` for exchange and usage instructions. Scope fields remain unavailable until `tokenScopesEnabled=true`.
+
+| Access-token setting | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tokenScopesEnabled` | `false` | Offer read-only, apps and tables fields after the signed claim mapping is installed. Names must exist and the operator must currently have read/hasAccess permission. |
+| `tokenScopeClaim` | `qqq_token` | Signed JWT claim containing the Authentik token identifier. Claims are enforced even when offering new scopes is disabled. |
+| `tokenUnusedDays` | `60` | Inactivity threshold for cleanup suggestions. With no login found, a known creation date and a threshold at most 90 days are required. |
+| `tokenReminderSchedulerName` | First registered scheduler | Run `authentikTokenReminders` daily. Without a scheduler the hidden process is available for a host to invoke. Register the scheduler before producing the qbit. |
+
+The **Access tokens** home widget requires `authentik.tokens.manage` and uses the standard TABLE widget. Its links use supported owner or identifier filters; creation time and last use are computed, not API-filterable or sortable. The Revoke Token action accepts 1–`MAX_BULK` selected tokens from either the record or list.
+
+Hosts with their own authentication customizer can call `AuthentikTokenScopes.apply(session, claims)` **after** computing permissions. The qbit's two claims mappers already do this. Scope and token-existence results are cached per runtime/identifier for 60 seconds; API/lookup failures deny access. The qbit conservatively narrows session permissions for direct consumers and attaches core's `QCredentialScope` for framework enforcement. It does not add permissions.
+
+The RC.2 classpath has no Alerts producer SPI. Reminders and guard alerts log at INFO and skip delivery when the optional adapter is unavailable; skipped reminders are not marked delivered. With the newer core Alerts SPI and qbit-alerts installed, the reflection adapter sends owner notifications and raises guard incidents (dedupe key `authentik_token_guard_bypass`, mapped to core CRITICAL severity). A host may install a per-runtime `AuthentikTokenAlerts.Sink`. The daily scheduler's system session is trusted; manual runs require `authentik.tokens.manage`.
+
+
+Service-account creation merges `goauthentik.io/user/token-maximum-lifetime` into the new user attributes using `serviceAccountTokenLifetime` (default `days=365`). No lifetime group is required; only the requested, permitted groups are added.
+
+Service-account creation and rotation need `add_token` (verified on Authentik 2026.8.3 by `TokenContractIT`).
+
+## Health checks
+
+The producer registers these central checks when Authentik is configured. All use
+component `authentik`, category `IDENTITY`, and a 10-second timeout. They reuse the
+API client and drift diagnostics, honor the runner deadline, and record only safe
+version, expiry-day, and finding-code details.
+
+| Name | Kind | Interval |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `authentik.api` | DEPENDENCY | 300 seconds |
+| `authentik.api_token` | DEPENDENCY | 21600 seconds |
+| `authentik.mapper` | DEPENDENCY | 21600 seconds |
+| `authentik.token_broker` | DEPENDENCY | 300 seconds |
+
+The broker check uses a client-credentials grant and discards the returned bearer;
+it reports UNKNOWN when broker credentials are not configured. Token metadata must
+identify one API token; ambiguous tokens or an unavailable expiry report UNKNOWN.
+The Identity home links its central status to System Health. The configuration
+`driftReport` widget remains available. Disable checks centrally with
+`health_check.enabled`; no Authentik table fields are added.
+
+These registrations use the core health SPI released in QQQ 4.1.0-RC.8; no
+SNAPSHOT override or enforcer skip is needed.
+
+## In-app help
+
+The qbit ships `src/main/resources/help/qbit-authentik.yaml` and registers it with
+QQQ's help bundle registry (QQQ 4.1.0-RC.7). Registration is metadata-only; core
+skips startup synchronization when the host has no `helpContent` table. Inline
+app and table help remains available without help storage.
+
+To override wording, register a separate bundle with `layer: HOST`, its own bundle
+ID and version, and entries with the same keys and roles. HOST entries take
+precedence over QBIT entries; do not edit the dependency's resource. Keep deployment
+names, navigation and authentication timing in the host bundle.
+
+`AuthentikHelpBundleTest` enables every supported feature and uses
+`HelpBundleAssertions` to require coverage and validate keys, summaries and live
+references. Run it with `./mvnw test -Dtest=AuthentikHelpBundleTest`.
+The bundle version is the literal project version; update it when releasing.

 # Upgrading qbit-authentik
 
+## Table help bundle (unreleased)
+
+Nothing to do. The qbit now applies `help/qbit-authentik.yaml` to the Identity app and its tables at the end of `produce()`, filling only help slots the host has not set. There is no schema change and nothing to seed or include in a Liquibase changelog: the API-backed tables are live Authentik data, and the four local tables fill as people use the actions.
+
+## QQQ 4.1.0-RC.6 baseline (#20 / F19)
+
+Hosts should align their QQQ dependencies with the released `qqq-bom-pom:4.1.0-RC.6`
+and use Java 21. The historical `qqq-snapshot` profile and `qqq.snapshot.version`
+property names remain, but the imported core version is a release, not a SNAPSHOT.
+Core actions now enforce permissions and field security locks for non-HTTP callers
+(QRun-IO/qqq#1061, #1062); callers must supply an appropriately authorized session.
+The qbit keeps its guards, scope checks and sensitive-field stripping because they
+also protect direct backend calls and implement Authentik-specific rules.
+No qbit configuration, stored policy format or schema changes are introduced.
+
+The build adopts `qbit-build-parent:2.1.0` with `qbit.guardrails.enforce=true`.
+The expired #1136 test stand-in is removed: tests now register features through
+`TableFeaturePermissionsMetaData` and discover them through the real
+`PermissionsHelper.getAllAvailablePermissions`, as production hosts do. The
+unused explicit permission-source overload in `PolicyCatalog` is removed.
+Duplicate shared-base entries, replacement registrations and malformed suffixes
+remain covered. Hosts should register feature suffixes, labels and table
+applicability through the core metadata API; no synthetic catalog is needed.
+Client-channel attribution and identity/credential channel restrictions remain
+separate follow-up work.
+
 ## Permissions renamed `identity.*` → `authentik.*` (unreleased → first release)

+# Using access tokens
+
+An access token lets a script, a CLI or another service call a QQQ app as you, without a browser sign-in. In apps that sign in with Authentik, access tokens are Authentik **app passwords**, managed from inside the app by `qbit-authentik`. The design is in [DESIGN.md §13](DESIGN.md#13-access-tokens-qqqs-personal-access-tokens-revision-6).
+
+## Create a token
+
+1. Open **Preferences → Access tokens**. It's also in the user menu under **Access tokens**.
+2. Choose **Create token** and fill in:
+   - a description, for example "nightly export script";
+   - an expiry. It's required: at most 90 days for people, and 365 for service accounts;
+   - optionally, a **scope**: read only, and/or only some apps and tables. A scoped token can never do more than you can, and loses access as soon as you do.
+3. Copy the key from the dialog. **It is shown once.** The app does not keep it, and nobody can show it again. If you lose it, rotate the token.
+
+The dialog also shows ready-to-run examples for this app, with its real URLs.
+
+## Use a token
+
+Tokens are exchanged for a short-lived access token (a JWT) at the Authentik token endpoint. You then call the app with that JWT.
+
+```sh
+# 1. Exchange the token for a JWT (valid for the app's access-token lifetime)
+JWT=$(curl -s -X POST "https://auth.example.com/application/o/token/" \
+  -d grant_type=client_credentials \
+  -d client_id="$APP_CLIENT_ID" \
+  -d username="$YOUR_USERNAME" \
+  -d password="$QQQ_TOKEN" \
+  -d scope="openid profile email" | jq -r .access_token)
+
+# 2. Call the app
+curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" "https://app.example.com/qqq/v1/metaData"
+```
+
+- Keep the token in a secret store or an environment variable. Never commit it.
+- When the JWT expires (the API answers 401), repeat step 1.
+- Every exchange is recorded as a sign-in in Authentik. The app shows the token's **last used** time from those records.
+
+## Manage your tokens
+
+From **Preferences → Access tokens**:
+
+| Action | What happens |
+|---|---|
+| **Rotate** | A new key replaces the old one. The description, expiry and scope stay the same. The old key stops working at once. |
+| **Extend** | Moves the expiry. The limit counts from today. |
+| **Revoke** | Deletes the token in Authentik. Anything using it stops working at once. |
+
+When the host has configured a scheduler and the optional Alerts delivery adapter, the daily job sends owner reminders in the 7-day and 1-day expiry windows. Delivery channels (bell/email) follow the host’s Alerts configuration. Each window sends once; if first seen within one day, only the urgent window sends. Extending a token through the qbit resets its reminder windows. Without delivery support, the job logs and leaves the reminder pending.
+
+## For administrators
+
+People with `authentik.tokens.manage` see the **Access tokens** TABLE widget on the Identity home page, with a link to **all access tokens**. From there they can:
+- filter by person, intent, expiring status or token identifier; view computed creation time, scope and last use (these computed columns cannot be filtered or sorted by the Authentik API);
+- revoke tokens one at a time or in bulk, for example the tokens the home page lists as unused for 60 days, or as belonging to deactivated people;
+- create a **service account** for an integration (**Users → Create Service Account**). The account gets one app password, shown once, and the groups you choose. Rotate and extend it from its token record.
+
+The widget shows the top ten owners plus a total, age buckets (`<30d`, `30–90d`, `90–365d`, `>365d`, and unknown), unused tokens and tokens with deactivated owners. Cleanup rows include owner and token links; age buckets link to the explicit token identifiers. Creation dates are known only for tokens created by the qbit. External tokens can receive reminders without acquiring a scope or an invented creation date.
+
+Last use comes from app-password login events over the last 90 days, cached for five minutes. The pinned Authentik schema has no date-range parameter for this endpoint, so the qbit pages newest-first to the window boundary. API-intent tokens show **not tracked** and never appear as unused. A token with no recorded login is suggested as unused only if its known creation date is older than `tokenUnusedDays` and that threshold is at most 90 days.
+
+Create Token offers read-only, apps and tables scopes only when `tokenScopesEnabled` is enabled after installing the signed claim mapping. Enter one metadata name per line. Review checks existence and the operator’s current read/hasAccess permission and shows the scope. The claims mappers intersect permissions after resolving them; scopes never grant access the owner lacks. A deleted token receives no permissions even if its local scope row remains, subject to the 60-second verification cache.
+
+Administrators can never create, rotate or extend a token for **another person**. Each person manages their own.
+
+Accounts that can administer Authentik, the break-glass account and the app's own service account can't get tokens from the app at all. Use the Authentik admin UI for them if you really need one.
+
+## Security notes
+
+- A token can do what its owner can do, or less if it's scoped. Prefer a scoped token and a short expiry.
+- Tokens for people are created as that person, through Authentik. The app's own service account cannot create a token for a person.
+- Every create, rotate, extend and revoke is audited in the app (`authentik_admin_action`, with the channel it came from) and in Authentik's event log.
+- The key exists only in Authentik and in the one response that showed it to you.

+**Owner decisions (2026-10-13): access tokens (revision 6).** The owner asked: "I want to manage tokens in app, like we want to do with users and groups and permissions - all through authentik still, but exposed in app to make it easier", then: "it should be on by default. if this is gonna be our PAT solution, it needs to be first class." Authentik tokens, through this qbit, are **the** personal access token (PAT) solution for QQQ apps that sign in with Authentik. Full design in §13.
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| 23 | **Tokens are managed in QQQ, stored in Authentik.** The `authentik_token` table lists them (owner, identifier, intent, expiry, last used, description, scope). Record actions: *Create Token*, *Rotate Token*, *Revoke Token*, *Extend Expiry*, and *Create Service Account*. |
+| 24 | **The key is shown exactly once**, in the response of the create or rotate, with copy and usage examples, and is never stored in QQQ: not in a table, the audit, logs, process state, ESB, notifications or the assistant (core `OneTimeSecret`, §13.6). |
+| 25 | **Self-service.** Every signed-in user manages their **own** tokens in the Preferences section "Access tokens" (core Preferences contract, QRun-IO/qqq#1162), also reachable from the user menu. |
+| 26 | **On by default** whenever the qbit runs with writes enabled (feature `TOKENS`). A host can opt out (`tokensEnabled=false`, kof22 env `AUTHENTIK_QBIT_TOKENS=false`). No opt-in flag. |
+| 27 | **Guardrails** (§13.4): (a) no minting or rotating for privileged accounts, in the qbit and again in Authentik; (b) self-service is self-only, admins may also target service accounts, never another human; (c) expiry is required, at most 90 days for people and 365 for service accounts (configurable); (d) optional two-person approval for service-account tokens (off by default); (e) an Authentik notification rule fires if the qbit's service account ever touches a protected user's token; (f) everything audited with the client channel. |
+| 28 | **Optional per-token scopes** (read only; specific apps and tables), narrower than the user, stored in `authentik_token_scope` and enforced by core scoped credentials (QRun-IO/qqq#1153, `QCredentialScope`) through a signed `qqq_token` claim (§13.5). |
+| 29 | **First class:** usage instructions generated from the instance's real URLs; expiry reminders 7 days and 1 day before (bell and email); last used; an unused-token cleanup suggestion; admin views by user and by age with bulk revoke; the doc page [`ACCESS-TOKENS.md`](ACCESS-TOKENS.md). |
+| 30 | **Owner-approved revision of the mechanism (2026-10-13, coordinator-approved under the owner's direction).** Authentik 2026.8.3 always creates a token for the *caller* unless the caller is a superuser (`TokenViewSet.perform_create`), so `add_token` cannot mint for anyone else (§13.2). The qbit therefore creates a person's token **as that person**, through RFC 8693 token exchange with a 2-minute API token from the `qqq-<appKey>-token-broker` provider (with a deny policy for protected users). Service accounts use `POST /core/users/service_account/` (create), `set_key` (rotate) and `PATCH` (extend). The qbit role gains `change_token`, `set_token_key` and `add_token`, keeps `delete_token` and `add_user`, and **never** holds `view_token_key`. `add_token` was found necessary by the contract tests (`service_account` needs `add_user` + `add_token`; `set_key` needs the POST object permission `add_token` + `set_token_key`) and is safe because a non-superuser's create is always the caller's (§13.9). Limitation: one app password per service account. |
+
+**Owner decision (2026-10-14): `add_token` (option A).** The contract tests showed that Authentik 2026.8.3 requires `add_token` for `POST /core/users/service_account/` (with `add_user`) and for `POST /core/tokens/{id}/set_key/` (the POST object permission, with `set_token_key`).
+
+| # | Decision |
+|---|---|
+| 31 | **Grant `add_token` to the qbit role, so service-account creation and rotation stay in the app.** It is safe: for a non-superuser, `POST /core/tokens/` always creates the token for the caller, so it can never mint a token for anyone else. `view_token_key` stays **not** granted. `TokenContractIT` pins 403 without `add_token` and 200/204 with it.

While checked, disable the permissions matrix and emit a document with the payload's `spec` and `version` and exactly `Statement: [{"Effect":"Allow","Action":["*"],"Resource":["*"]}]` through the existing `outputFieldName`. Do not enumerate the matrix into explicit permissions. Unchecking removes that statement and re-enables the matrix; the emitted document then contains only explicit selected grants. `fullAccess` is display state, not a separately trusted save input: the server derives authority from the submitted document. Member `basePermissions` already expands full-access policies from other groups; the UI must label full access as including future resources, not infer completeness from the matrix alone.

Each member has `username`, `label` (`Full Name (username)`), `viaGroups` (sorted direct group names that are this group or its descendants), and `basePermissions` (sorted session permissions with only this group's policy document excluded).

+### 12.8 Cut-over: making policies take effect safely
+
+Saved policies do nothing until the host signs people in through the qbit mapper. The qbit makes that state visible, helps seed policies from today's access, and refuses to switch over in a way that would lock administrators out.
+
+**Host SPI.** `AuthentikHostPermissionSource` returns what a user (or a group's members) gets *today* from the host, typically a hard-coded grant such as "admins get `adminPermissions()`". The host sets it with `withHostPermissionSource(...)`.
+
+**Config.**
+
+| Setting | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `mapperEnabled` | `false` | The host's own switch (kof22: `AUTHENTIK_QBIT_MAPPER`). Off means "policies are saved but not enforced". A host that calls the mapper without setting it is treated as on. |
+| `cutoverGuardGroups` | none | Groups whose members must lose no permission at the cut-over (kof22: `kof22-admins`) |
+| `mapperOverride` | `false` | The owner's explicit override of a failing guard |
+| `staticGroupPermissions` | none | Permissions always granted to a group's members (the floor), e.g. today's admin grant |
+
+**Status** (`AccessComparison.state`, cached 60 s):
+- `OFF`: the mapper is not in use.
+- `ACTIVE`: the guard passed, or nothing is guarded.
+- `OVERRIDDEN`: the owner overrode a failing guard.
+- `BLOCKED`: the guard failed or could not reach Authentik.
+
+The status is shown in three places:
+- the *Policy enforcement* banner, first on group and policy records and on the Edit Policy step. When off it reads "Policies are saved but NOT enforced at sign-in on this instance (mapper off)".
+- the home's Connection card ("Policies at sign-in")
+- **Compare Access**
+
+**Compare Access** is a read-only `TABLE` widget on the app home (`authentik.admin`). For every active person it compares two sets:
+- **today**: the host source
+- **with the mapper**: the person's groups' policies and `qqq.io/permissions` including ancestors, the static fallback of their direct groups, and all `authentik.*` for a bootstrap subject
+
+It shows what is added and removed, and the unchanged count. Guarded people are marked, and the footer says whether the guard passes.
+
+**Guard.** While the status is `BLOCKED`, the mapper does not apply policies. A sign-in gets:
+- today's access from the host source
+- the static fallbacks
+- the bootstrap subjects
+
+So switching the mapper on can never take access away from a guarded admin until Compare Access shows no removal for them, or the owner sets `mapperOverride`. The static fallback and the bootstrap subject (the owner's immutable Authentik pk) stay in force in every state, so a lockout is impossible.
+
+**Generate Policy From Current Access** is a record action on groups that saves a policy. It takes what the group's members get today (`groupPermissions`):
+- Permissions a policy can express are joined with the group's current policy, so nothing is removed, and become the document.
+- Named permissions the app defines but a policy cannot express (dotted names, `write`) are merged into `qqq.io/permissions`.
+- Anything else is listed as skipped.
+
+Review shows the generated document, the diff and the subset rule before anything is saved. For the subset rule, the operator's own access today (host source plus static fallback) counts.
+
+**Rollback** is one switch: set the host flag off (kof22: `AUTHENTIK_QBIT_MAPPER=false`). Sign-in returns to the host's own grant immediately. Saved policies stay in Authentik and in `authentik_policy`, unused.

+## 13. Access tokens: QQQ's personal access tokens (revision 6)
+
+Decisions 23–30 (§0.1). Authentik stays the source of truth: every token is an Authentik `Token` row. QQQ keeps only non-secret metadata about the tokens it created: the scope, who created it and when.
+
+### 13.1 What a QQQ access token is
+
+A QQQ access token is an Authentik **app password** (`intent: app_password`) owned by a person or a service account. A client uses it in two steps:
+
+1. **Exchange it for a short-lived JWT** at the app's Authentik token endpoint: `POST {authentikPublicUrl}/application/o/token/` with:
+   - `grant_type=client_credentials`
+   - `client_id={app client id}`
+   - `username={owner username}`
+   - `password={token}`
+   - `scope=openid profile email`
+
+   No client secret: Authentik 2026.8.3 authenticates this grant by the username and app password, even for a confidential client (client authentication is required only for the code, refresh, device and token-exchange grants; pinned by `TokenContractIT`). Authentik checks that the owner is active, that the token exists with intent `app_password`, and that the app's policies let the owner in. It records a `login` event with `method: token` and the token's identifier.
+2. **Call the app** (`/qqq/v1/...` and the published APIs) with `Authorization: Bearer {jwt}`. When the JWT expires (the provider's access-token validity), exchange the token again.
+
+The qbit generates these instructions from the instance's real URLs (§13.7).
+
+API-intent tokens (`intent: api`) call Authentik's own API, not the app. QQQ lists them and can revoke them, but does not create them, because an API token acts with all of its owner's Authentik permissions.
+
+### 13.2 Why the qbit can't just call `POST /core/tokens/` (verified in the 2026.8.3 source)
+
+- **Create belongs to the caller.** `TokenViewSet.perform_create` saves every new token with `user = request.user` unless the caller is a superuser, and `add_token` changes nothing. The qbit's service account is not a superuser and never will be (§5.1), so it **can't** create a token for anyone else.
+- **PATCH has dangerous defaults.** `TokenSerializer.validate` runs `attrs.setdefault("intent", "api")` and `attrs.setdefault("user", request.user)`, and forces `expires` to the default for API tokens.
+  - A `PATCH` without `intent` turns an app password into an API token with the default expiry.
+  - A `PATCH` without `user` moves the token to the caller.
+  - So **every `PATCH` the qbit sends carries `intent`, `user` (the current owner's pk) and `expires`**, and the qbit re-reads the token afterwards (the race guard in §13.3).
+- **Expiry is capped.** An app password's expiry is capped by `goauthentik.io/user/token-maximum-lifetime` (for example `days=90`) from `User.group_attributes`, which merges the **brand's** attributes, then the user's groups, then the user. Without it the cap is the tenant's default token duration, which is short. The blueprint sets the attribute on the brands (§13.9); the qbit sets `days=365` on each service account it creates.
+- **Expired tokens linger.** They stay in the database until Authentik's cleanup task removes them, and the token-endpoint lookup (`Token.objects.filter(key=...)`) doesn't check `expires`. So the qbit never relies on an expired token being unusable. Revoke deletes the token.
+
+### 13.3 How each action works
+
+| Action | Where | Who | Authentik calls |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| *Create Token* (own) | Preferences "Access tokens"; `authentik_token` table action | Any signed-in user, for themselves | As the user, through token exchange (§13.3.1): `POST /core/tokens/` (`intent: app_password`, identifier `qqq-pat-{username}-{yyyymmdd}-{6 random}`, `description`, `expires`, `expiring: true`), then `GET /core/tokens/{id}/view_key/` (the owner may read their own new key) |
+| *Rotate Token* (own) | same | The owner | As the user: create a new token with the same description, expiry and scope, read its key, then `DELETE` the old one. The new identifier replaces the old one in `authentik_token_scope`. If the delete fails, the result says so and the old token stays listed. |
+| *Revoke Token* | Preferences (own); table record and bulk action (`authentik.tokens.manage`) | The owner, or an admin for any owner who isn't protected | `DELETE /core/tokens/{identifier}/`. Own tokens: as the user. Admin: as the service account, with `delete_token`. |
+| *Extend Expiry* | Preferences (own); table record action | The owner; an admin for service accounts | Own tokens: as the user. Service accounts: as the qbit's service account, with `change_token`. Always `PATCH {intent, user, expires}`, then a re-read. |
+| *Create Service Account* | `authentik_user` table action | `authentik.tokens.manage` + `authentik.users.manage` | `POST /core/users/service_account/` (`name`, `create_group: false`, `expiring: true`, `expires`). The response's `token` is the one-time key. Then set `goauthentik.io/user/token-maximum-lifetime: days=365` on the new account (its expiry cap, §13.9) and add it to the groups chosen in the policy editor, subject to the subset rule (§5.4). |
+| *Rotate Token* (service account) | `authentik_token` record action | `authentik.tokens.manage` | The qbit generates a key (48 random bytes, URL-safe base64) and calls `POST /core/tokens/{identifier}/set_key/`. The identifier, expiry and scope don't change. |
+
+**Limitation (decision 30).** A service account has exactly one app password: the one `service_account` creates. Only a superuser could add a second. To run two credentials side by side, create a second service account.
+
+**Contract finding (2026-10-13, verified on 2026.8.3).** `UserViewSet.service_account` requires `add_user` **and** `add_token`, and `POST …/set_key/` requires `add_token` (Authentik's `ObjectPermissions` maps a detail POST to `add_*`) as well as `set_token_key`. Without `add_token` both return 403. The role therefore holds `add_token` (§13.9); `TokenContractIT` pins both behaviours.
+
+**Race guard.** Before an extend or a rotate, the qbit reads the token (owner pk and intent), and it reads the token again after the `PATCH` or `set_key`. If the owner or the intent changed:
+- the run fails;
+- the audit row is `FAILED` with "token moved";
+- an alert is raised (§13.8).
+
+Authentik's `validate_user` refuses a different user, and sending `user` explicitly closes the `setdefault` path.
+
+#### 13.3.1 Acting as the user: token exchange
+
+**The broker.** The blueprint adds a confidential OAuth2 provider and application, `qqq-{appKey}-token-broker`:
+- access-token validity `minutes=2`;
+- property mappings: only the default `goauthentik.io/api` scope;
+- `jwt_federation_providers`: the app's own sign-in provider;
+- a **deny policy** bound to the application for superusers, members of `authentik Admins` and `identity-admins`, users with `qqq.io/protected`, and the qbit's own service account (§13.4 a).
+
+**The exchange.** The qbit takes the signed-in user's current access JWT for the app. In kof22 this is the token the OAuth2 module stores in `qqq_user_session`; a host can supply another source with `withSubjectTokenSource(...)`. The qbit posts:
+- `grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:token-exchange`
+- `client_id` and `client_secret` of the broker
+- `subject_token={jwt}`
+- `subject_token_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:token-type:jwt`
+- `scope=goauthentik.io/api`
+
+**What Authentik does.** It verifies the JWT against the federated provider and applies the broker app's policies, so the deny policy runs inside Authentik. It then returns a 2-minute access token **for that user**. The qbit uses it for the token calls of that one action, then drops it; it is never stored or logged.
+
+**Why this is safe.** The calls are made as the user, so Authentik itself enforces "own tokens only": a user can create, and read the key of, only their own tokens.
+
+**Config.**
+- `tokenBrokerClientId`: `${env.AUTHENTIK_TOKEN_BROKER_CLIENT_ID}`
+- `tokenBrokerClientSecret`: `${env.AUTHENTIK_TOKEN_BROKER_CLIENT_SECRET}`
+- `tokenEndpointUrl`: default `{baseUrl}/application/o/token/`
+
+Without a broker, the self-service actions are hidden, and Review says why.
+
+### 13.4 Guardrails (checked at Review and again at execute)
+
+| | Rule | Where enforced |
+|---|---|---|
+| (a) | **No minting or rotating for privileged accounts.** Refused for: superusers, including by inheritance; members of `authentik Admins`, `identity-admins` and the configurable `tokenProtectedGroups`; the break-glass account and anything with `qqq.io/protected`; `protectedUsernames`; and the qbit's own service account. Hard-coded for the built-in classes, plus the configurable list. | The `AuthentikTokens` guard; the broker app's deny policy (self-service); for protected owners, `set_key` is refused before the call |
+| (b) | **Self-service is self-only.** A person without `authentik.tokens.manage` may target only themselves. An admin may also target service accounts, but **never another human**; this covers create, rotate and extend. Revoke is the exception: for incident response, an admin may revoke any token whose owner isn't protected. | The qbit guard; Authentik itself for the as-user calls |
+| (c) | **Expiry is required.** There's no non-expiring option. The maximum is `tokenMaxDaysUser` (default 90) for people and `tokenMaxDaysServiceAccount` (default 365) for service accounts. Extend counts from now. Authentik's group attribute is a second cap. | The qbit (Review refuses); Authentik (`token-maximum-lifetime`) |
+| (d) | **Two-person approval** for service-account tokens (create service account, rotate): `tokenTwoPersonApproval`, default **off** while the team is one person. When on, the change is queued in `authentik_approval_request`, and the key is shown to the approver who applies it. | The qbit |
+| (e) | **Detective control.** An Authentik notification rule and an expression policy fire whenever the qbit's service account creates or updates a token whose owner is protected, reads its key, or sets its key (`model_created`, `model_updated`, `secret_view` or `secret_rotate` on `authentik_core.token`). They notify `identity-admins` through Authentik notifications. The rule should never fire; if it does, guard (a) was bypassed. It also notifies `identity-admins` whenever the qbit's account creates a service account (decision 31). | The Authentik blueprint (§13.9). The qbit also raises an `authentik_token_guard_bypass` alert through the Alerts producer when its own re-read finds a protected owner. |
+| (f) | **Everything is audited.** Before each call, every action writes an `authentik_admin_action` row with the client channel (`audit.clientChannel`, for example `web`, `api` or `token:{identifier}`), plus an Authentik `custom_qqq_admin_action` event. The assistant can't reach these tables or actions, because the assistant wall denies `authentik_*`. | The qbit; core audit |
+
+### 13.5 Scopes
+
+**What a scope is.** A token may be narrower than its owner: **read only**, and/or limited to a list of **apps** and **tables**. Advanced scopes can also list processes, reports, widgets and operationIds. No scope means the token can do everything its owner can.
+
+**Where scopes are stored.** In the local table `authentik_token_scope`, one row per token the qbit created:
+- `id`
+- `tokenIdentifier` (unique)
+- `ownerUsername`, `ownerPk`
+- `readOnly`
+- `apps`, `tables`, `processes`, `reports`, `widgets`, `operationIds` (TEXT, one per line)
+- `createdBy`, `createdAt`, `rotatedAt`
+- `lastReminder7d`, `lastReminder1d`
+
+There is no key, and no hash of a key. Generic insert, edit and delete are off; only the token actions change the table. Record-level audit is on.
+
+**Binding the JWT to its token.** A scope mapping on the app's provider (scope name `profile`) adds `qqq_token: {identifier}` to JWTs minted by `client_credentials` with an app password. It finds the app password the request presented, owned by the same user. Authentik signs the claim. It is bound to `profile` because the app needs the `groups` claim (also `profile`) to accept a token at all, so a client can't drop the claim and keep access.
+
+**Enforcement.** The mapper reads `qqq_token`, loads the scope row (cached 60 s) and sets core's `QCredentialScope` (QRun-IO/qqq#1153) on the session. Core then:
+- intersects the scope with the owner's live permissions in `PermissionsHelper`;
+- checks `operationIds` in the UI API;
+- records the channel `token:{identifier}`.
+
+STAND-IN(core=QRun-IO/qqq#1153, removeBy=the RC that ships #1153, RC.7 at the earliest). Until then the mapper narrows the session's permission set itself:
+- read only keeps only `.read` and `.hasAccess`;
+- apps and tables keep only permissions whose base name belongs to a listed app or table.
+
+**Fail closed.**
+- Scoped tokens are offered only when the host declares the claim mapping installed (`tokenScopesEnabled`; kof22 sets it to `true` once the blueprint is applied).
+- A JWT whose `qqq_token` names a token with no scope row is unscoped (the token was created outside the qbit).
+- A `qqq_token` naming a token that no longer exists gets **no** permissions.
+
+### 13.6 The key is shown once
+
+**The type.** Core's `com.kingsrook.qqq.backend.core.model.secrets.OneTimeSecret` (`label`, `value`, `masked`, `usageText`) from QRun-IO/qqq#1162. Its `toString()` never includes the value.
+
+**Preferences.**
+- The provider's `runAction` returns the secret in `UserPreferenceActionResult.secrets`.
+- The endpoint responds with `Cache-Control: no-store`.
+- Next shows it in a show-once dialog with *Copy* and the usage text.
+
+**Record actions.** These use core's one-time process output values: `RunBackendStepOutput.addOneTimeSecret(...)`, in the QRun-IO/qqq PR `feature/process-one-time-values`.
+- The value travels only in the step's HTTP response.
+- `ProcessState`, traces and lifecycle listeners (ESB) see only the masked form: `••••` plus the last 4 characters.
+- If the step outlives the middleware's step timeout (3 s) and finishes as a job, core parks the secrets in memory (`OneTimeSecretHandoff`, 5 minutes, never in state) and returns them once, to the first status poll that sees the job complete. A poll that reaches another server instance or comes too late finds nothing: the key is lost by design, and the result says "Rotate the token to get a new key". (Found in the demo: a create through the broker can take longer than 3 s.)
+
+**Where the key never goes.** The qbit never passes it to the audit row, the Authentik event context, `AdminResult.message`, notifications, logs or exceptions. `AuthentikRedactor` also masks any `key` or `token` JSON value in error text.
+
+**The test.** A test runs every action, then searches for the key in every QQQ table, the captured log output, the stored process state and the published events (§13.11).
+
+### 13.7 How to use it (generated)
+
+The result screen, the Preferences dialog and `docs/ACCESS-TOKENS.md` show:
+- the token endpoint (`{authentikPublicUrl}/application/o/token/`), the app's client id and the owner's username;
+- a `curl` that gets a JWT;
+- a `curl` to `{appBaseUrl}/qqq/v1/metaData`, and one to a published API (`{appBaseUrl}/api/{version}/...`) when the instance publishes one;
+- the token's expiry and scope.
+
+The URLs come from config (`appPublicUrl`, `authentikPublicUrl`, `appClientId`), defaulting to the OAuth2 module's metadata. The key appears in the usage text only inside the one-time response.
+
+### 13.8 Reminders, last used and cleanup
+
+**Last used.** Read from Authentik `login` events with `method: token` (`context.method_args.identifier`), through `/events/events/?action=login`, over a 90-day window, cached for 5 minutes. API tokens show "not tracked".
+
+**Expiry reminders.** A daily scheduled job finds tokens expiring within 7 days and within 1 day, and notifies each owner (bell and email):
+- through the Alerts producer SPI when qbit-alerts is installed;
+- otherwise through core notifications, if present;
+- otherwise not at all.
+
+Reminders are deduplicated through `lastReminder7d` and `lastReminder1d`. Tokens created outside the qbit have no scope row, so they are reminded by owner and identifier.
+
+**Cleanup suggestion.** The app home lists tokens not used for 60 days (`tokenUnusedDays`, configurable) and tokens of deactivated users. It links to the filtered list and the bulk *Revoke Token* action.
+
+### 13.9 Authentik changes (cluster-gitops, kof22)
+
+**The qbit role** `qqq-kof22-admin-idadmin`:
+- add `authentik_core.change_token`, `authentik_core.set_token_key` and `authentik_core.add_token`;
+- it already has `delete_token`, `view_token` and `add_user`;
+- **not** `view_token_key`.
+
+`add_token` is safe here: for a non-superuser, `POST /core/tokens/` always creates the token for the **caller**, so it can never mint a token for someone else. It is required by `service_account` and by `set_key` (the POST object permission).
+
+**New Authentik objects:**
+- the broker provider and application, with the deny policy (§13.3.1);
+- the `qqq_token` scope mapping on the kof22 admin provider (§13.5);
+- `goauthentik.io/user/token-maximum-lifetime: days=90` on the brands (people). Groups are `state: created` and can't take new attributes from a blueprint; the qbit sets `days=365` on service accounts it creates;
+- the broker in its own blueprint file (`kof22-qqq-tokens.yaml`), so a problem there can't affect sign-in;
+- the notification rule and policy (§13.4 e).
+
+**Rollout (kof22).** Seed the Infisical key `/kof22-website-authentik-api/token-broker-client-secret` first, then merge the role-permissions gitops PR, then deploy the backend. `TOKENS` is on by default, so there is no flag PR. The ESO secrets are `AUTHENTIK_TOKEN_BROKER_CLIENT_ID` and `AUTHENTIK_TOKEN_BROKER_CLIENT_SECRET` (Infisical `/kof22-website-authentik-api/`).

+
+**In-memory Authentik.** `FakeAuthentik` is extended to model the 2026.8.3 behaviour of §13.2: caller-owned create, `setdefault` on `PATCH`, the lifetime cap, `service_account`, `set_key` and token exchange. Tests cover:
+- create, rotate, revoke and extend, both for self and for service accounts;
+- every guardrail refusal: the protected classes, another human, a missing or too-long expiry, no broker;
+- the race guard;
+- approval when (d) is on;
+- scope rows, reminders and last used.
+
+**The key is never persisted or logged.** After each action, the key is absent from every local table, the audit rows, the captured log, the stored `ProcessState`, the published ESB events and the Authentik event body the qbit posted.
+
+**Contract tests on Authentik 2026.8.3** (Testcontainers):
+- the §13.2 facts: a non-superuser create belongs to the caller, a `PATCH` without `intent` changes the token, and the lifetime cap applies;
+- token exchange as a user through the broker;
+- the deny policy refuses a protected user;
+- `service_account`, `set_key` and `PATCH` for a service account;
+- the `qqq_token` claim on a `client_credentials` JWT;
+- the detective notification rule fires for a protected owner.

 Examples:
 - `{"Action": ["read"], "Resource": ["cms_page"]}` grants `cms_page.read`.
 - `{"Action": ["*"], "Resource": ["cms_page"]}` grants `cms_page.hasAccess`, `cms_page.read`, `cms_page.insert`, `cms_page.edit` and `cms_page.delete`.
+- `{"Action": ["analyze", "comment"], "Resource": ["person"]}` grants `person.analyze` and `person.comment` when both features are registered for `person`.
+
+Features are generic strings, discovered by matching `PermissionsHelper.getAllAvailablePermissions(qInstance)` entries to the table's effective permission base name. Examples include `analyze` from qbit-data-analysis and `comment`, `attach`, `tag`, `share`, `task`, `assign` from qbit-collaboration. The feature label comes from `AvailablePermission.permissionType`. For named resources every feature grant is explicit, so registering a new feature never broadens an existing `Action: ["*"]` statement on a named resource. This matching rule also exposes the available `write` permission of `READ_WRITE` tables as an explicit named action; it is not part of `*`.
 
 A grant that QQQ never checks (for example `hasAccess` on a table with insert/edit/delete permissions) is harmless.
 
-**Not in 1.0.0:** `Deny`, wildcard or prefix resources, conditions, and field-level rules. Named permissions such as `authentik.users.manage` cannot be written as a resource, because they contain dots. They stay in the group attribute `qqq.io/permissions`.
+**Not in 1.0.0:** `Deny`, prefix resources, wildcard resources other than the full-access form below, conditions, and field-level rules. Named permissions such as `authentik.users.manage` cannot be written as a resource, because they contain dots. Explicit named grants stay in the group attribute `qqq.io/permissions`; full access includes them in session form.
+
+## Full access
+
+The exact full-access statement is:
+
+```json
+{"Effect":"Allow","Action":["*"],"Resource":["*"]}
+```
+
+It grants **Full access (all current and future resources)**. A complete document is:
+
+```json
+{
+  "PolicySpec": "qqq-iam",
+  "PolicyVersion": "1.0.0",
+  "Statement": [
+    {"Effect":"Allow","Action":["*"],"Resource":["*"]}
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Full access expands when permissions are computed (sign-in, effective-permission resolution, access comparison and member preview), using the current QQQ instance. The document and cached group graph retain a symbolic marker; no expanded permission list is stored in the document or cached for full access. Adding a table, process, app, report, widget or table feature therefore requires no policy edit. Existing signed-in sessions receive the new set when their permissions are computed again.
+
+The expansion is the union of:
+
+- **Every `AvailablePermission.name` returned by `PermissionsHelper.getAllAvailablePermissions(qInstance)`**, without limiting names to the editor's resource syntax. Core uses effective permission base names and permission levels: table `hasAccess`, `read`, `insert`, `edit`, `delete`, READ_WRITE `write`, registered table feature names, and process/app/report/protected-widget `hasAccess`. Names supplied by custom permission checkers are included when those checkers expose them through this API; arbitrary permissions that core does not enumerate are not inferred.
+- **The qbit permission catalog**, including policy-catalog permissions for hidden tables and processes (core skips hidden tables/processes), plus any additional catalog names supplied to the resolver.
+- **Host-declared permission names** from `AuthentikQBitConfig.withFullAccessHostPermissions(qInstance -> names)`, for each runtime whose API backend is in the instance. Use it for names that core cannot enumerate: custom permission checkers and named permissions such as `cdn.purge` or `email.send`. The function runs at every expansion, so names the host adds later are covered without a policy edit. Without it, full access does not grant those names.
+- **Every `IdentityPermission` session name**, such as `authentik.users.manage.hasAccess`, `authentik.permissions.manage.hasAccess` and `authentik.policies.manage.hasAccess`. This covers the entire qbit identity catalog, even when a particular feature is not enabled.
+
+This grants QQQ permissions, not Authentik superuser status. Existing scope, protected-account, audit, approval, last-admin and cut-over checks still apply.
+
+Examples and boundaries:
+
+- `{"Effect":"Allow","Action":["*"],"Resource":["*"]}` includes table features, READ_WRITE `write`, named identity permissions and future resources.
+- `{"Effect":"Allow","Action":["*"],"Resource":["cms_page"]}` still grants only the five standard actions for `cms_page`; it does not grant features or `write`.
+- `{"Effect":"Allow","Action":["read"],"Resource":["*"]}` is invalid. So is `Action: ["*", "read"]` with `Resource: ["*"]`. The error says that `Resource "*" requires Action ["*"]`.
+- A full-access statement may coexist with other valid statements (or named resources in the same statement). Canonicalization drops the redundant grants. Every statement and resource is validated first: an invalid statement anywhere still rejects the entire document, even beside full access.
+
+Saving a full-access document requires the operator to hold **every permission in its current expansion**, even when the target already has full access. An operator whose own effective policy is full access meets that check. Review and audit summaries use **Full access (all current and future resources)**. Removing full access cannot remove the last qualifying identity administrator.

 There is no partial credit: one bad statement voids the whole document. When the qbit reads policies from the group graph, each group's document is parsed on its own, so one bad group voids only that group. In the merged token claim, one bad statement voids the claim.

-The qbit always writes the canonical form:

The older overloads without a catalog accept standard actions and full access; `PolicyPermissions.fromClaims` uses the current `QContext` instance for full-access expansion when no catalog is supplied. Raw `PolicyParser` results are symbolic and must be resolved before entering a session. Both bundled mappers and the editor pass the catalog, as do group-policy resolution and access comparison. This qbit consumes the available-permission API from the pinned RC.6 core; registered `TableFeaturePermissionsMetaData` features appear in that API.
 
 The mapping merges the statements of every group in `request.user.all_groups()` (direct groups and their ancestors) whose document has the right spec and version. It always emits a document, with an empty `Statement` array when the user has no policies.

+- key: app:authentikAdmin;slot:help
+  summary: Review Authentik accounts, groups, application access and identity administration.
+  content: |
+    Identity shows the accounts, groups and applications held in Authentik, the service that signs people in to this application. The directory data is read from Authentik with the host's configured caching, and Authentik stays the source of truth. Changes made in Authentik itself are equally valid, and nothing here overwrites them blindly.
+
+    **Read only by default.** Out of the box you can look but not change anything. The change actions (creating and editing users and groups, resetting passwords, revoking sessions, editing policies) appear only when writes are switched on for this site. When they are off, those buttons are absent, not just disabled. Deleting a user or group needs a second switch and is off unless it was turned on deliberately.
+
+    Some details, such as sessions, tokens, events and raw attributes, need the audit permission. You need the permission to read users to open this app.
+- key: table:authentik_application;slot:help
+  summary: The apps that people sign in to through Authentik, and who is allowed to open them.
+  content: |
+    Each row is an application set up in Authentik. Open one to see its provider, how it is launched and, under **Who can open it (policy bindings)**, the rules that decide which groups or users may use it.
+
+    This list is read only. Applications are managed in Authentik, not here.
+
+    **How rows get created:** Define applications in Authentik; you can inspect their live state here. An empty list means no applications match your query and visible scope.
+- key: table:authentik_application;section:details
+  summary: The application's name, address, provider and library settings.
+- key: table:authentik_application;section:bindings
+  summary: The rules that allow or deny groups and users from opening this application.
+- key: table:authentik_application;field:slug
+  summary: The application's short address name inside Authentik.
+- key: table:authentik_application;field:name
+  summary: The application's display name in Authentik.
+- key: table:authentik_application;field:group
+  summary: The heading Authentik lists this application under in its library; often empty.
+- key: table:authentik_application;field:providerName
+  summary: The sign-in provider connected to this application, such as an OAuth2 or proxy provider.
+- key: table:authentik_application;field:policyEngineMode
+  summary: How the application's access rules combine.
+  content: |
+    Authentik uses **any** (one passing rule is enough) or **all** (every rule must pass). See the rules under **Who can open it (policy bindings)**.
+- key: table:authentik_application;field:launchUrl
+  summary: The address people are sent to when they open the application from Authentik.
+- key: table:authentik_application;field:publisher
+  summary: The publisher name shown for the application in Authentik; often empty.
+- key: table:authentik_application;field:hiddenFromLibrary
+  summary: Yes when the application is hidden from users' Authentik app library.
+  content: |
+    Hidden applications can still be opened directly.
+- key: table:authentik_application;field:bindingTarget
+  summary: Internal link used to list this application's access rules.
+- key: table:authentik_blueprint;slot:help
+  summary: The configuration files Authentik applies to set itself up, and whether each applied cleanly.
+  content: |
+    Blueprints are files that describe parts of Authentik, such as its groups and service accounts. Authentik applies them itself. This list shows each one's **{{label:authentik_blueprint.status}}**, whether it is **{{label:authentik_blueprint.enabled}}**, and when it was **{{label:authentik_blueprint.lastApplied}}**.
+
+    It is read only and for checking. A status that is not successful means something in Authentik's own setup needs attention.
+
+    **How rows get created:** Authentik discovers and applies blueprints; you can inspect their live status here. An empty list means no blueprint instances match your query.
+- key: table:authentik_blueprint;field:pk
+  summary: Authentik's internal id for the blueprint.
+- key: table:authentik_blueprint;field:name
+  summary: The blueprint's name.
+- key: table:authentik_blueprint;field:path
+  summary: Where Authentik finds the blueprint file.
+- key: table:authentik_blueprint;field:status
+  summary: Whether Authentik applied the blueprint successfully, as reported by Authentik.
+- key: table:authentik_blueprint;field:enabled

+  content: |
+    Use this to answer who did what and when: a login, a password reset, a group change, or something an admin did from this app. Each row names the **{{label:authentik_event.action}}**, who did it, from which **{{label:authentik_event.clientIp}}**, and what it touched. **{{label:authentik_event.context}}** holds the raw detail.
+
+    The list is read only and needs the audit permission. On a user, the **History** section shows just that person's events. Authentik deletes old events on its own schedule, shown in **{{label:authentik_event.expires}}**.
+
+    **How rows get created:** Authentik records security events; you can inspect the live event log here. An empty list means no events match your query.
+- key: table:authentik_event;field:pk
+  summary: Authentik's internal id for the event.
+- key: table:authentik_event;field:created
+  summary: When the event happened.
+- key: table:authentik_event;field:action
+  summary: What happened, in Authentik's own terms, such as login, login failed, model created or model updated.
+- key: table:authentik_event;field:username

+- key: table:authentik_event;field:expires
+  summary: When Authentik will delete this event from its log.
+- key: table:authentik_group_member;slot:help
+  summary: Which people belong to which Authentik groups, one row per person and group.
+  content: |
+    This is the list behind the **Members** section on a group and the **Memberships** section on a user. It is read only. To change who is in a group you use the **{{label:authentikAddMembers}}**, **{{label:authentikRemoveMembers}}**, **{{label:authentikAddToGroup}}** or **{{label:authentikRemoveFromGroup}}** actions, which are present only when writes are enabled.
+
+    **How rows get created:** Membership rows are assembled live from Authentik. Use the membership actions to add or remove people. An empty list means no memberships match your query.
+- key: table:authentik_group_member;field:groupName

+- key: table:authentik_group_member;field:userPk
+  summary: Authentik's number for the member's account.
+- key: table:authentik_group;slot:help
+  summary: The groups that decide what each person can do in this application and which applications they can open.
+  content: |
+    Access in this application comes from group membership. A group can grant specific application permissions and app sign-in, can sit under parent groups whose access it inherits, and can carry a written policy.
+
+    Open a group to see its members, the permissions it grants directly and the full set including inherited ones, and its policy.
+
+    You can inspect the details your permissions allow. These actions appear when their features and writes are enabled: **{{label:authentikCreateGroup}}**, **{{label:authentikEditGroup}}**, **{{label:authentikEditPermissions}}**, **Edit Policy**, **{{label:authentikGeneratePolicy}}**, **{{label:authentikAddMembers}}** and **{{label:authentikRemoveMembers}}**. Safeguards apply: you can only grant permissions you hold yourself, you cannot edit your own access, superuser groups cannot be managed, and granting identity administration rights needs a second person when two-person approval is enabled.
+
+    **How rows get created:** Create groups in Authentik or use Create Group when enabled. You read their live state from Authentik. An empty list means no groups match your query.
+- key: table:authentik_group;section:enforcement
+  summary: Whether saved policies currently take effect when people sign in.
+- key: table:authentik_group;section:details
+  summary: The group's name, parents, children, member count and superuser status.
+- key: table:authentik_group;section:permissions
+  summary: The application permissions and app sign-in this group grants, directly and by inheritance.
+- key: table:authentik_group;section:members
+  summary: The people in this group.
+- key: table:authentik_group;section:policy
+  summary: The written access policy saved on this group, if any.
+- key: table:authentik_group;section:attributes
+  summary: The raw extra settings stored on the group in Authentik; needs the audit permission.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:pk
+  summary: Authentik's internal id for the group.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:name
+  summary: The group's name.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:isSuperuser
+  summary: Yes when this group itself gives its members full superuser rights in Authentik.
+  content: |
+    Superuser groups cannot be managed from here.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:isSuperuserInherited
+  summary: Yes when this group, or any parent it inherits from, gives members superuser rights.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:parentNames

+  summary: The groups that inherit access from this one.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:memberCount
+  summary: How many people are directly in this group.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:memberUsername
+  summary: Filter for groups containing a given username; not shown.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:permissions
+  summary: The application permissions this group grants directly, one per line.
+  content: |
+    These come from the group's permissions setting in Authentik. A permission looks like a screen or action name followed by what is allowed, for example read or has access.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:effectivePermissions
+  summary: Everything this group grants once parent groups and the group's policy are included.
+  content: |
+    Use it to answer why a person has a permission. The permissions here are the full set for the group's members.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:appAccess
+  summary: The applications the group's members may sign in to, one per line.
+- key: table:authentik_group;field:roleNames

+- key: table:authentik_group;field:attributes
+  summary: The raw attributes stored on the group in Authentik, as JSON text.
+  content: |
+    Needs the audit permission. Permissions, app access and policy are kept here, so edit them with the actions rather than by hand.
+- key: table:authentik_policy_binding;slot:help
+  summary: The rules attached to an application that allow or deny specific groups or users from opening it.
+  content: |
+    Each binding points at a group or user (or a named policy) and says whether it grants or blocks access. They are evaluated in **{{label:authentik_policy_binding.order}}**, and the application's **Policy Engine Mode** decides how the results combine.
+
+    This list is read only and appears on an application under **Who can open it (policy bindings)**. Bindings are changed in Authentik.
+
+    **How rows get created:** Define application bindings in Authentik; you can inspect the live bindings here. An empty list means no bindings match your query.
+- key: table:authentik_policy_binding;field:pk
+  summary: Authentik's internal id for the binding.
+- key: table:authentik_policy_binding;field:target
+  summary: Internal id of the application the binding is attached to.
+- key: table:authentik_policy_binding;field:policyName
+  summary: The named policy the binding uses, when it is a policy rather than a group or user.
+- key: table:authentik_policy_binding;field:groupName
+  summary: The group this binding applies to, if it targets a group.
+- key: table:authentik_policy_binding;field:username
+  summary: The user this binding applies to, if it targets a person.
+- key: table:authentik_policy_binding;field:negate

+- key: table:authentik_policy_binding;field:enabled
+  summary: Whether the rule is currently in force.
+- key: table:authentik_policy_binding;field:order
+  summary: The position of the rule; lower numbers are checked first.

+  summary: When the rule stops applying, if it has an end date.
+- key: table:authentik_role;slot:help
+  summary: Authentik roles, which bundle Authentik's own admin rights and can be attached to groups.
+  content: |
+    A role controls what someone may do inside Authentik itself, not inside this application. Only roles created by people are listed; ones Authentik manages itself are left out.
+
+    This list is read only. Managing roles from here is not available.
+
+    **How rows get created:** Define roles in Authentik; you can inspect its live, unmanaged roles here. An empty list means no unmanaged roles match your query.
+- key: table:authentik_role;field:pk

+
+    The list is read only and needs the audit permission. The **{{label:authentikRevokeSessions}}** action, which signs a person out everywhere, appears only when writes are switched on.
+
+    **How rows get created:** Authentik creates sessions when people sign in; you can inspect them live here. An empty list means no sessions match your query.
+- key: table:authentik_session;field:uuid
+  summary: Authentik's id for the session.
+- key: table:authentik_session;field:userPk
+  summary: The Authentik id of the person this sign-in session belongs to.
+- key: table:authentik_session;field:username
+  summary: The username of the person who owns this session.
+- key: table:authentik_session;field:lastIp

+
+    This list shows the last policy saved from this application for each group, with who saved it and when. Authentik holds the live document.
+
+    Saved policies only take effect at sign-in when policy enforcement is on. The banner on this screen says whether it is. When signed-in users receive changed permissions depends on the host's authentication and session configuration.
+
+    Use **{{label:authentikEditPolicyRecord}}** to change one. It needs the policies permission, and you can only grant permissions you hold yourself.

+
+    Both lists are one entry per line. They replace what the group has now, so Review shows what is added and removed.
+
+    - You can only add permissions you hold yourself, and give sign-in access only to apps you can sign in to yourself.
+    - When two-person approval is enabled, adding identity administration permissions requires approval, so the change waits under **{{label:authentik_approval_request}}**.
+    - Removing permissions is refused if nobody would be left able to manage memberships and permissions.

+    This background action checks tokens approaching their expiry and records reminder timing in **{{label:authentik_token_scope}}**. Use it to understand when owners were warned to renew or replace credentials. Reminders do not extend expiry or rotate a key automatically. Review **Tokens** for the current expiry, then use **{{label:authentikExtendToken}}**, **Rotate Token** or **Revoke Token** as appropriate for the credential.
+- key: process:authentikCreateToken;slot:help
+  summary: 'Create a personal access token with an expiry and optional access restrictions.'
+  content: |
+    Use **Create Token** to create an app-password token for your own account. Review the expiry and any available scope restrictions before submitting. Scopes can narrow your permissions but cannot grant new access. The credential is shown once after creation; keep it in your intended credential store. The **Tokens** list and **{{label:authentik_token_scope}}** retain metadata rather than a recoverable copy of that credential.

+    Use **Rotate Token** when a credential needs replacement. Review the selected token and its ownership before continuing. Supported app-password tokens can be rotated; protected accounts require management in Authentik. Rotation invalidates the old credential, so update the consumers that use it. The new credential is shown once. Review **Tokens** and the recorded scope after completion.
+- key: process:authentikRevokeToken;slot:help
+  summary: 'Invalidate a selected token so it can no longer authenticate.'
+  content: |
+    Use **Revoke Token** when access is no longer needed or a token should stop working. Review the identifier and owner before submitting because any consumer relying on that token will lose access. Revocation also removes its local scope metadata. It does not delete the owner’s account. Review the resulting **Tokens** list to confirm the selected token is no longer available.
+- key: process:authentikExtendToken;slot:help
+  summary: 'Update the expiry of an eligible app-password token.'
+  content: |
+    Use **{{label:authentikExtendToken}}** when an existing eligible credential should remain valid for a longer allowed period. Review the owner and requested expiry before submitting. The action is limited to supported app-password tokens and permitted ownership; protected accounts are managed in Authentik. Extending resets expiry reminders but does not rotate the credential. Use **Rotate Token** when you need a replacement key.
+- key: process:authentikCreateServiceAccount;slot:help
+  summary: 'Create a service account with checked group access and an expiring app password.'
+  content: |
+    Use **Create Service Account** for an integration that needs its own identity. Review the account name, requested groups and expiry before proceeding. Group checks and protection rules still apply. The account receives an app-password credential that is shown once, so store it for the intended integration. Inspect the resulting account and **Tokens** after creation, and use **Rotate Token** for later credential replacement.

+
+    **How rows get created:** **{{label:authentikInviteUser}}** creates a single-use invitation in Authentik and requests its delivery by email. You read invitations live from Authentik. An empty list means no invitations match your query.

+  content: |
+    Enter the person's email, an optional full name and a reason. You need permission to manage users, writes must be enabled, and your host must configure an enrollment flow. The email must not already belong to an existing user.
+
+    Review the invitation before continuing. Authentik creates a single-use invitation that expires after seven days and sends the email. You can inspect it in **{{label:authentik_invitation}}** or withdraw it with **{{label:authentikCancelInvitation}}**.
+- key: process:authentikCancelInvitation;slot:help
+  summary: Withdraw an invitation so it can no longer be used to enroll.
+  content: |
+    Select the invitation and give a reason. Review your selection before continuing. You need permission to manage users and writes must be enabled.
+
+    This action deletes the invitation in Authentik. An invitation that is already absent needs no change. Cancelling an invitation does not delete an account that has already enrolled.
+- key: process:authentikDeleteUser;slot:help
+  summary: Permanently delete an eligible account from Authentik.
+  content: |
+    Use **{{label:authentikDeactivateUser}}** if you want to keep the account and its history. Deletion is permanent and requires the host to enable deletion as well as user management and writes.
+
+    Give a reason and type the username to confirm, then check **Review** before continuing. You cannot delete protected accounts, your own account or the last identity administrator. You need permission to manage users.
+- key: process:authentikDeleteGroup;slot:help
+  summary: Permanently delete an empty group and the access it grants.
+  content: |
+    Remove the group's members and child groups first. Deletion removes the group with its permissions, application access and policy. You need permission to manage groups, and your host must enable deletion, group management and writes.
+
+    Give a reason and type the group name to confirm. Check **Review** before continuing. Superuser groups and changes that would remove the last identity administrator are refused.
