I would prefer to not give a global API key to the wordpress plugin. I don’t want a compromise in the wordpress site to result in user accounts deleted (or edited, or logged out). However, limiting the scopes by guesswork seems to give weird results (like it can’t load subcategories).
What scopes does this actually need to work?

With the Wordpress pre-dating the Admin API scopes by several years I doubt it can work with it.
It’s an interesting feature request.

I would really appreciate it. The global API key can do a lot of things, and we’re using our Discourse instance for more than just the blog comments, so it’d be nice to keep it scoped to just what it needs.

Is such a feature request better in this category, or in features?

I’ve been thinking the same thing! (I currently maintain the plugin). This is the right category to raise it.
I’ll discuss it with @simon and get back to you.

@angus Hat das etwas ergeben? Wir möchten dies auf einer unserer WordPress-Seiten verwenden, auf denen wir eine nicht sehr streng kontrollierte Gruppe von Benutzern mit Administratorzugriff haben, und ich möchte nicht, dass dies zu einem vollständigen Administratorzugriff auf unserer Discourse-Seite eskaliert.

@mattdm Ein Update hierzu. Ich bereite Änderungen vor, die es Ihnen ermöglichen, einen API-Schlüssel mit spezifischen Bereichen für den Funktionsumfang des WP Discourse -Plugins, das Sie verwenden, zu generieren.
Dies erfordert Änderungen am Discourse-Kern, daher unterliegt es der Genehmigung. Ich werde Sie diese Woche auf dem Laufenden halten, während ich einen PR erstelle.

@mattdm Update: Es gibt zwei PRs in Draft, die darauf abzielen, dies zu beheben. Wie erwähnt, muss der Ansatz zuerst genehmigt werden. Weitere erklärende Hinweise zum PR discourse/discourse.

opened 09:46AM - 20 Dec 21 UTC
I'm looking to add granular API key usage for the WP Discourse plugin. This invo… lves:
- Updating the "wordpress" default mappings to reflect the actions being used by the plugin, grouped by the feature-set they relate to (note that the existing "wordpress" action in the "topic" resource only relates to comment retrieval in the plugin, and is somewhat confusing in its current state).
- Adding a ``session/scopes`` endpoint, which returns the scopes associated with the api key in the request.
This is the companion PR on the plugin, which will provide further context to this: https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/pull/431. See in particular [``validate_scopes``](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/pull/431/files#diff-5fd9ce264afeb5f617119db36e34a2e5a33f605527ac6fa9ee761b8123f1a17eR185).
If this approach is acceptable, I'll do some more testing before moving this out of draft. Below are some Q/A explaining my thinking behind this.
### Why does the wordpress plugin need granular scopes?
Currently the plugin requires the use of a global key, but only uses a subset of the actions, creating more risk than necessary. [See for example](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-scopes-exactly-does-the-wordpress-api-key-need/175812).
### Why group the scopes by feature set?
This is how people use the plugin. Some use only SSO, some only publishing, some without comments etc. If a user is not using SSO they should be able to use a key that doesn't include the ``admin/user`` actions SSO requires.
Currently the "publishing" feature set cannot be totally disabled in the plugin (hence the "(required)" in the action description), however the ability to disable it (and just use SSO) may be added.
### Why add a ``session/scopes`` endpoint?
The WP Discourse plugin currently sends a request to ``/users/:username`` to test its connection to Discourse. This may be successful even if the allowed scopes are insufficient for how the plugin is configured.
A scopes endpoint tells the API consumer both whether the connection is successful and what scopes their key has. There's similar implementations in other APIs, e.g [Sendgrid](https://docs.sendgrid.com/api-reference/api-key-permissions/retrieve-a-list-of-scopes-for-which-this-user-has-access).
### Why add the ``scopes`` endpoint to the session controller?
The endpoint could go in a few different places. I figured it belonged there as essentially you're asking about the scopes in the session created when the api-authenticated request is made.
### Why not use a ``tokeninfo`` endpoint?
``tokeninfo`` endpoints are part of the OAuth 2.0 spec, which is not what we're dealing with here. Using it may be confusing.

Das sieht so aus, als wäre es ins Stocken geraten. Ich möchte dieses Plugin für das Fedora Magazine verwenden, das von Natur aus eine ziemlich offene Zugriffspolitik hat – sogar mehr als das Fedora Community Blog, mit dem wir es derzeit verwenden. Gibt es zufällig Neuigkeiten?

Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort @mattdm , und das passt gut, da ich es nächste Woche wieder aufgreifen wollte, da es bei dem Discourse PR einige Fortschritte gab. Ich werde Sie nächste Woche darüber informieren.

Nur eine kurze Notiz, dass der Discourse-Teil davon zur Überprüfung eingereicht wurde (d. h. aus dem Entwurf verschoben wurde).

Sobald dieser zusammengeführt wurde, kann der WP Discourse -Teil zusammengeführt und veröffentlicht werden.

@mattdm Granulare Scopes sind jetzt in WP Discourse 2.4.3 veröffentlicht worden. Wenn Sie die neueste Version von Discourse und die neueste Version des Plugins verwenden, können Sie diese nutzen. Ich werde im Laufe der Woche eine vollständige Anleitung zur Verwendung veröffentlichen.
Bearbeitung Hier ist die Anleitung!
