Consent APIs

Overview

This API has been available since 1.7.0

A FusionAuth Consent is a definition of a permission that can be given to a User. At a minimum a consent has a name, and defines the minimum age of self-consent. A consent can then be granted to a User from a family member or optionally a User may self-consent if they meet the minimum age defined by the consent.

The first API allows you to create, delete, update and retrieve a consent. The FusionAuth Consent is the object that defines the consent, the values, minimum ages, etc.

 
The second API is the User Consent API, this API allows you to grant a User Consent, and update a User Consent. In order to revoke a User Consent you simply need to update the consent status.

This API is used to create a new Consent.

This API is used to update an existing Consent.

You must specify the Id of the Consent you are updating on the URI.

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

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

Request

Update the Consent with the given Id

URI

PUT /api/consent/{consentId}

PATCH /api/consent/{consentId}

Available since 1.12.0

When using the PATCH method, use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request. The PATCH method will merge the provided request parameters 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.

This API is used to update a consent. Once consent has been granted to a User, only the values and status may be modified.

Request

Update a User Consent with given Id

URI

POST /api/user/consent/{userConsentId}

PATCH /api/user/consent/{userConsentId}

Available since 1.12.0

When using the PATCH method, use the same request body documentation that is provided for the PUT request. The PATCH method will merge the provided request parameters 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

userConsentId [UUID] Required

The Id of the User Consent to update.

Request Headers

X-FusionAuth-TenantId [String] Optional

The unique Id of the tenant used to scope this API request.

The tenant Id is not required on this request even when more than one tenant has been configured because the tenant can be identified based upon the request parameters or it is otherwise not required.

See Making an API request using a Tenant Id for additional information.

Request Body

userConsent.status [String] Required

The status of the User consent. Possible values are:

  • Active

  • Revoked

    Setting the status to Revoked when the current status is Active will revoke the User Consent. Setting the status to Active when the current status is Revoked will Un-revoke the User Consent and make active again.

userConsent.values [Array<String>] Optional

The consent values to be associated with this User consent.

  "userConsent": {
