# Check the delegation state for an organisation

`GET /api/v1/auth/permissions/{org}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://www.apier.no`
- URL: `https://www.apier.no/api/v1/auth/permissions/{org}`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Read-side of the Auth Gateway. Agents call this before attempting an action to discover whether the delegation required to act on behalf of a Norwegian organisation is in place. The response always uses HTTP 200 — the authorisation verdict lives in `data.status` (`full`/`partial`/`none`), and when the verdict is not `full` the response carries Compliance Explainer `fix_steps` (Norwegian text) guiding the consumer to completion. Only transport-level problems (bad org_number, missing API key, internal failure) produce non-200 responses. Organisations in the 999xxxxxx range are reserved for synthetic tests and always return a `full` mock state so sandbox clients can exercise success paths without a real delegation.

## Path parameters

- `org` string, required

## Response `200`

Permission state for the requested organisation. `data.status` carries the verdict; callers MUST branch on it rather than relying on HTTP status.

- object
  - `success` true, required
  - `data` object, required
    - `org_number` string, required: Echoed 9-digit Norwegian organisation number the state applies to.
    - `status` 'full' | 'partial' | 'none', required: Authorisation verdict. `full` means every scope required for the consumer's tier is present and the underlying delegation is active — the consumer can act. `partial` means a delegation exists but is either incomplete or not yet approved (status=pending). `none` means no delegation has been created for this (consumer, org_number) pair.
    - `active_scopes` string[], required: Scopes Altinn has recorded for the current delegation. Empty when status is `none`.
    - `missing_scopes` string[], required: Scopes required by the consumer's tier baseline that are not present on the active delegation.
    - `delegated_rights` object[], required: One entry per currently active scope, giving the scope, when it was granted, and which Altinn system user holds it. Useful for auditing and for generating UI tables of what the agent is allowed to do.
      - `right_id` string, required: Altinn scope identifier (e.g. 'altinn:authentication/systemuser.request.write').
      - `granted_at` string, date-time, required: ISO 8601 UTC timestamp when the delegation row that grants this right was created.
      - `system_user_id` string, required: Altinn system user identifier that holds this right.
    - `required_but_ungranted_rights` object[], required: One entry per missing scope. Each carries a Norwegian `reason` string and `fix_steps` the consumer (or its agent) can follow to complete the delegation. Populated when status is `partial` or `none`.
      - `right_id` string, required: Missing scope identifier.
      - `reason` string, required: Why this scope is not granted (Norwegian where applicable).
      - `fix_steps` string[], required: Actionable steps — typically 'POST /api/v1/auth/system-user/delegate …' and a reminder to have the signing authority approve the URL.
    - `system_user` object, nullable, required: Altinn system user currently bound to this (consumer, org) pair, or null when no delegation exists.
      - `id` string, required: Altinn-issued System User identifier.
      - `valid_until` string, date-time, nullable, required: ISO 8601 UTC timestamp when the underlying delegation expires. Null for indefinite.
    - `last_checked` string, date-time, required: Server-generated ISO 8601 UTC timestamp for when this state was computed. Matches `_meta.last_verified`.
  - `_meta` TrustMetadata, required: Metadata included in every response for trust and verifiability.
    - `rulebook_version` string, required: Current Rulebook version. Internal rule-version records carry structured origin metadata (`initial_seed` | `human_review` | `lovdata_drift_response` | `audit_finding` | `customer_question` | `legal_correction`) for operator forensics, but that attribution is deliberately NOT exposed on public responses to avoid leaking operational signal.
    - `data_freshness` string, date-time, required: When this data was last fetched (ISO 8601 UTC).
    - `last_verified` string, date-time, required: When this data was last verified against source (ISO 8601 UTC).
    - `source` string, required: Origin of this data. Defaults to `apier.no`. The agent-readiness probe (`GET /api/v1/health/agent-readiness`) is the one surface that may instead emit `apier.no telemetry` — it does so when at least one of its endpoint rates came from measured live telemetry, and falls back to `apier.no` when every rate is a static default; all other endpoints always emit `apier.no`.
    - `data_source` string: Authoritative origin of the underlying data (listed alongside rulebook_version, data_freshness, last_verified, legal_basis for Rulebook-influenced endpoints). Distinct from `source` (the response origin): `data_source` identifies the authoritative data publisher — e.g. 'Brønnøysund Enhetsregisteret + Apier Universal Rulebook'. Present on registry-backed endpoints.
    - `served_from` 'cache' | 'live' | 'static': Cache-aware endpoints only — 'cache' when the response was served from the local copy, 'live' when the gateway just refreshed from the upstream, 'static' when the payload was computed deterministically from pure code with no DB or upstream read (e.g. /v1/public/deadlines). Absent on endpoints that don't carry this semantic.
    - `stale` boolean: Cache-aware endpoints only — true when the upstream was unreachable and a within-limit cached row was served as a fallback. Absent on normal responses.
    - `schema_version` string, required: OpenAPI contract version at the time of the response; matches `info.version`. Always present on every `/v1/*` response so a future schema break can be traced to the exact rows / audit events that predate / postdate it. Agent-facing machine interfaces (v1/capabilities, workflows.json) may override with their own narrower surface version; all other endpoints inherit the manifest-level version.
    - `legal_basis` string: Legal basis under which the response data is reused. Present on Rulebook-influenced endpoints (v1/company/{org}/obligations, /v1/company/{org}/deadlines). Common value: 'NLOD — public registry reuse'.
    - `rule_count` integer: Rule-evaluation count — total rules evaluated for this request. Present on endpoints that invoke the Rulebook evaluator (v1/company/{org}/obligations).
    - `applicable_count` integer: Count of rules whose evaluation_result is 'applicable'. Present on evaluator endpoints.
    - `not_applicable_count` integer: Count of rules whose evaluation_result is 'not_applicable'. Present on evaluator endpoints.
    - `insufficient_data_count` integer: Count of rules whose evaluation_result is 'insufficient_data' (Tier 2 gated). Present on evaluator endpoints. rule_count = applicable_count + not_applicable_count + insufficient_data_count.
    - `cache_age_ms` integer, nullable: Cache layer: milliseconds since the cached row was computed, or null on a cache miss (served_from === 'live'). Agents use it alongside data_freshness as a staleness signal. Present on endpoints wired to the cache (v1/company/{org}/obligations, /deadlines, /summary, /v1/public/obligations, /v1/public/deadlines).
    - `response_time_ms` integer: Speed signal: total server-side processing time in milliseconds, measured via performance.now() at the route boundary. Mirrored on the `X-Apier-Response-Time-Ms` header so agents can key on it without parsing the body. Present on every endpoint.
    - `response_timestamp` string, date-time: RFC 3339 / ISO 8601 UTC timestamp stamped by the response builder at wire-exit. Mirrored on the `provenance_log.response_timestamp` column by a fire-and-forget writer. Distinct from `data_freshness` (when upstream data was fetched) and `last_verified` (when the citation was verified); this is the moment the envelope left the server. Always populated at runtime — deliberately left out of the `required` list to avoid a cascading contract change that would invalidate every pre-existing example envelope in this spec (append-only response contracts). A future revision may promote it into the `required` list alongside a bulk example refresh.
    - `response_hash` string: SHA-256 hash of the canonical-JSON form of the envelope with `_meta` stripped before hashing, prefixed with `sha256:`. Mirrored on `provenance_log.response_hash` so a consumer can independently re-hash the bytes they received and compare against what we persisted (integrity receipt). Stripping `_meta` is load-bearing: volatile fields (response_time_ms, cache_age_ms, served_from) and the hash itself would otherwise feed into the digest and break the cache-hit-bytewise-identical invariant.
    - `source_snapshot_id` string: Optional free-text pointer into an upstream sync snapshot the response derives from — e.g. a Brreg sync's `brreg-<ISO>` snapshot id. Absent when the response is not tied to a specific upstream snapshot (capabilities, tools, static deadlines).
    - `is_sandbox` true: Present and `true` only when the response was generated from sandbox fixture data (currently `ALTINN_MODE=sandbox` on `/api/v1/altinn/list-acting-capacity`). Absent (NOT `false`) on every other response — the absent-vs-false distinction is deliberate so downstream agents branching on `if (response._meta.is_sandbox)` cannot be misled into treating non-sandbox responses as positively-confirmed-not-sandbox. Distinct from the `/v1/sandbox/*` `is_sandbox: true` literal in `SandboxMeta` (which carries the sandbox surface tag); this flag rides through the production `/api/v1/altinn/*` surface to forensically tag a sandbox-mode response that an OEM evaluator received.
    - `cost_nok` number: What this call debited from the caller's prepaid credit balance, in NOK, rendered from the integer-øre ledger (50 øre → 0.5; the ledger itself never leaves whole øre and no float arithmetic touches a balance). Present on the 2xx body of every metered company-data read — the same debit that sets the `X-Credits-Cost-Ore` header, so the two never disagree. `0` when nothing was charged: credit enforcement running dark (the response then also carries `X-Credit-Check: shadow`) or the sandbox surface. Absent on unmetered endpoints and on error envelopes — a refunded 5xx/403/404 claims no cost rather than a wrong one. Lives under `_meta`, which `response_hash` excludes, so the provenance receipt is unaffected; the route's ETag is computed before the credit wrapper stamps it, so a conditional request can still short-circuit to 304. Append-only addition.
    - `wallet_remaining_nok` number, nullable: The prepaid credit balance remaining AFTER this call's debit, in NOK (same rendering as `cost_nok`; mirrors the `X-Credits-Balance-Ore` header). `null` when no balance was read: credit enforcement running dark, or the sandbox surface. Present wherever `cost_nok` is. An agent planning a sequence of metered calls can divide this by the per-call price from GET /api/v1/pricing to know how many reads remain before a 402 INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS. Append-only addition.
    - `spend_cap_remaining_nok` number: What the calling key may still spend under its tighter spend cap (Europe/Oslo calendar day or month) AFTER this call's debit, in NOK (same rendering as `cost_nok`; never below 0). Present on the 2xx body of a metered read only when credit enforcement is live AND the key has a daily or monthly cap (set with PATCH /api/v1/account/keys/{id}); absent otherwise. When it reaches 0 the next metered call on this key returns 402 SPEND_CAP_REACHED until the cap resets. Append-only addition.

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid org_number format (must be exactly 9 digits).
- `401`: Authentication failed — missing, malformed, invalid, or revoked API key.
- `429`: Rate limit reached on at least one of TWO independent dimensions running in parallel: per-(api_key, endpoint) per-minute (the established per-tier scaling — Free / Starter / Professional / Enterprise unlimited) AND per-(api_key, org_number) per-day (bounds runaway-agent failure modes per client org so one org's traffic cannot starve siblings sharing the same key; daily bucket window is one calendar day in Europe/Oslo, DST-aware). The `X-RateLimit-Dimension` header identifies which bucket tripped: `per_key`, `per_org`, or `both` (when the same request exceeds both — the binding Retry-After is the per-org value because the per-org window is hours/days vs the per-minute window). The `Retry-After` header indicates how many seconds to wait before the binding window resets; `X-RateLimit-Limit` / `X-RateLimit-Remaining` / `X-RateLimit-Reset` describe the per-minute bucket state. The per-day per-org limits per tier (sized at ~100× typical daily volume — the dimension exists to bound failure modes, not to monetize) are: Free 1000/org/day, Starter 5000, Professional 25000, Enterprise unlimited. On rare infrastructure-side failures the gateway fails OPEN and passes the request through with `X-RateLimit-Check: skipped` on the response — clients can treat that as a transient signal that quota enforcement was briefly degraded.
- `500`: Unexpected failure computing permission state (typically a database read failure). Internal details are never leaked in the response body.
