Summary
Adds a short-lived, delegated token (
tr_uat_...) that authenticates against the API as a user without handing out a long-lived personal access token. You mint one from a PAT, optionally narrow it to a set of scopes, and give it a lifetime; the API then treats requests as that user, subject to their role.trigger.dev mint-tokenis the entry point (it uses your stored PAT):UAT=$(trigger.dev mint-token --ttl 3600 --cap read:runs)The token works anywhere a PAT does for user-level endpoints, and can be exchanged for an environment JWT at
POST /api/v1/projects/:ref/:env/jwtto reach environment-scoped data (the same exchange a PAT supports).How it works
A user-actor token is a short-lived JWT verified by a new first-class
authenticateUserActormethod on the RBAC plugin. Self-hosters get a built-in fallback; role-aware enforcement comes from the plugin. Effective permissions are the intersection of the user's role and the token's optional scope cap, so a token is only ever narrower than the user, never broader.Minting is restricted to personal access tokens (a token can't mint another one, and an environment key can't mint one). Tokens default to a 1 hour lifetime (max 365 days). When exchanged for an environment JWT, the user is stamped on it for attribution and the scope cap is carried through.
