Resource servers using the UMA protocol can use a specific endpoint to manage permission requests. This endpoint provides a UMA-compliant flow for registering permission requests and obtaining a permission ticket.
A <<_overview_terminology_permission_ticket, permission ticket>> is a special security token type representing a permission request. Per the UMA specification, a permission ticket is:
`A correlation handle that is conveyed from an authorization server to a resource server, from a resource server to a client, and ultimately from a client back to an authorization server, to enable the authorization server to assess the correct policies to apply to a request for authorization data.`
In most cases, you do not need to deal with this endpoint directly. {project_name} provides a <<_enforcer_overview, policy enforcer>> that enables UMA for your
resource server so it can obtain a permission ticket from the authorization server, return this ticket to client application, and enforce authorization decisions based on a final requesting party token (RPT).
where permission tickets are obtained when a client tries to access a protected resource without the necessary grants to access the resource. The issuance of
permission tickets is an important aspects when using UMA as it allows resource servers to:
* Abstract from clients the data associated with the resources protected by the resource server
* Register in the {project_name} authorization requests which in turn can be used later in workflows to grant access based on the resource's owner consent
To grant permissions for a specific resource with id {resource_id} to a user with id {user_id}, as an owner of the resource send an HTTP POST request as follows:
