Protecting the API

Questions & Help Questions

Hello,

I am creating my first Ash Json API with Phoenix.

I am playing with swagger, and I have some questions.

  1. How can I add authentication and authorization? Is it derived from AshAuthentication policies?
  2. How can I get the bearer to test the API authorization?

If I define a policy like this one:

  policies do
    policy always() do
      forbid_if always()
    end
  end

Note I am using this policy only for testing purposes

  1. In the GET action for listing all the items without any API key, it returns a 200 response with an empty list. Shouldn’t be a 401 instead?

I want to return 401 to all API calls that are not authorized using a bearer, and a 403 response to HTTP calls not allowed—for example, a resource owned by another actor.

Thanks!
