  • Issue: Missing details to invoke front channel grant types with authorization details product-is#26020
  • Type: Documentation (Missing Content)
  • Summary: Added front channel grant flow (Authorization Code) implementation details to the Rich Authorization Requests documentation. The original documentation only included back channel grant (Client Credentials) flow details.
  • Affected Versions: 7.1.0, 7.2.0, next (all versions using the common include file)
  • Style Scope Verification: Microsoft Style Guidelines have been applied to the newly added content without modifying existing content style.
  • Verification: mkdocs build passed successfully for version 7.2.0

Changes Made:

  • Added new section "Sample authorization code grant flow" with complete step-by-step implementation
  • Included authorization endpoint request example with authorization_details parameter
  • Included token endpoint request/response examples for code-to-token exchange
  • Followed Microsoft Style Guide for all new content (active voice, present tense, sentence case headings, proper formatting)

Technical Details:

  • Changes made to: en/includes/guides/authorization/rich-authorization-requests.md (common include file)
  • This single change automatically affects all versions (7.1.0, 7.2.0, and next) that reference this include file
  • No images were added (diagram would require manual creation)

Walkthrough

This PR adds documentation for integrating rich authorization requests with the authorization code grant flow, including step-by-step instructions, sample requests/responses for both authorize and token endpoints, and JSON payloads illustrating authorization_details usage.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Documentation: Authorization Guide
en/includes/guides/authorization/rich-authorization-requests.md
Added "Sample authorization code grant flow" section with Step 1 (initiate authorization request) and Step 2 (exchange authorization code for access token), including sample requests/responses for both authorize and token endpoints. Introduced JSON payloads showing authorization_details for authorization_code flow with descriptions of flow and UI implications. Note: Content appears duplicated in diff with the same section appended twice.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~12 minutes

Areas requiring attention:

  • Verify and resolve the duplicate "Sample authorization code grant flow" section—determine if this is intentional or should be consolidated
  • Confirm JSON payload examples are accurate and match current API specifications
  • Validate that the authorization_details structure aligns with other documentation sections

Poem

🐰 A guide springs forth, two-fold and bright,
Rich requests flowing, oh what delight!
Authorization flows, step by step we share,
(Though one copy's enough, I'd declare with care!) 🌿

326-394: Verify no content duplication in the diff.

The AI-generated summary indicates the "Sample authorization code grant flow" section appears twice with identical content, but the provided annotated code shows only a single instance (lines 326-394). Please confirm whether the diff contains duplication. If duplication exists, remove one instance to avoid redundancy.


326-394: New authorization code grant section is well-structured and complete.

The new "Sample authorization code grant flow" section effectively documents the front-channel flow with clear step-by-step guidance, comprehensive examples for both authorize and token endpoints, and proper integration with existing content. The formatting, markdown structure, and adherence to Microsoft Style Guide are all appropriate for the documentation.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Gitleaks flagged sample tokens—document as placeholders.

Gitleaks detected lines 367–368 as Generic API Keys. These are placeholder tokens in documentation examples, not secrets. However, to prevent confusion and reinforce that these are sample values, consider adding a brief comment before the JSON block indicating these are example/placeholder tokens.

Example improvement:

 === "Sample response (/token)"
+    
+    <!-- Example response with placeholder tokens -->
 
     ```json

Alternatively, use more explicit placeholder markers in the sample values themselves (e.g., <sample-access-token> as inline comments near the JSON block).

365 to 391, the JSON sample contains realistic-looking tokens that triggered
Gitleaks; update the documentation to clearly mark these values as non-sensitive
placeholders by either adding a one-line comment immediately above the code
block stating "Example values — do not use in production" (or similar), and/or
replace the access_token and refresh_token values with explicit placeholder
