Entity Types

This feature is only available in paid plans. Please visit our pricing page to learn more.

Overview

This API has been available since 1.26.0

This page contains the APIs for managing Entity Types. Here are the APIs:

Create an Entity Type

This API is used to create an Entity Type. Specifying an Id on the URI will instruct FusionAuth to use that Id when creating the Entity Type. Otherwise, FusionAuth will generate an Id for the Entity Type.

Request

Create an Entity Type without providing an Id. An Id will be automatically generated.

POST /api/entity/type

Create an Entity Type with the provided Id

POST /api/entity/type/{entityTypeId}

Request Parameters

entityTypeIdUUIDDefaults to secure random UUID

The Id to use for the new Entity Type. If not specified a secure random UUID will be generated.

Request Body

entityType.dataObject

An object that can hold any information about the Entity Type that should be persisted.

entityType.jwtConfiguration.accessTokenKeyIdUUID

The unique id of the signing key used to sign the access token.

Required when enabled is set to true.

entityType.jwtConfiguration.enabledBooleanDefaults to false

Indicates if this application is using the JWT configuration defined here or the global JWT configuration defined by the Tenant. If this is false the signing algorithm configured in the Tenant will be used. If true the signing algorithm defined in this application will be used.

entityType.jwtConfiguration.timeToLiveInSecondsInteger

The length of time in seconds the JWT will live before it is expired and no longer valid.

Required when enabled is set to true.

entityType.nameStringrequired

A descriptive name for the entity type (i.e. “Customer” or “Email_Service”).

Example Request JSON

Update an Entity Type

This API is used to update an existing Entity Type.

You must specify all of the properties of the Entity Type when calling this API with the PUT HTTP method. When used with PUT, this API doesn’t merge the existing Entity Type and your new data. It replaces the existing Entity Type with your new data.

Utilize the PATCH HTTP method to send specific changes to merge into an existing Entity Type.

Request

Update an Entity Type by Id

PUT /api/entity/type/{entityTypeId}

PATCH /api/entity/type/{entityTypeId}

When using the PATCH method, you can either use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request for backward compatibility. Or you may use either JSON Patch/RFC 6902] or JSON Merge Patch/RFC 7396. See the PATCH documentation for more information.

When using the PATCH method with a Content-Type of application/json the provided request parameters will be merged into the existing object, this means all parameters are optional when using the PATCH method and you only provide the values you want changed. A null value can be used to remove a value. Patching an Array will result in all values from the new list being appended to the existing list, this is a known limitation to the current implementation of PATCH.

Request Parameters

entityTypeIdUUIDrequired

The Id of the Entity Type to update.

Request Body

entityType.dataObject

An object that can hold any information about the Entity Type that should be persisted.

entityType.jwtConfiguration.accessTokenKeyIdUUID

POST /api/entity/type/{entityTypeId}/permission/{permissionId}
