Delegated Login

Last updated 11 months ago

POST /auth/login/delegated

Logs a user into an organization without the user's credentials.

If you want to use your own authentication system, while still using Delegated Signing, you can use this endpoint to authenticate a user without needing the user's credentials.

The user authentication token can be used for read operations within the Dfns API, however, write operations will still require the user to sign the action.

  • Service account required. See for more information.

  • User action signature required. See for more information.

  • Request headers required. See for more information.

  • Authentication required. See for more information.
