The example I've been given is evaluating whether or not a request has
permission to make a change to a value by a particular amount. Sounds like
an application function, but I don't necessarily want to have to change the
application whenever some policy decision needs to be made or changed (like
for now, it's based on one value, but in the future, it could be several
values). Ideally, I guess, the ability to pass additional data (say, JSON)
with the request that the Evaluation API could access, so it would be up to
the caller and policy to decide what's needed to grant the request.
OOTB, I'm not sure. It confused me for a while why the URI was in the
resource configuration, when you couldn't pass a URI for Authorization, but
I've since figured out that the URI is used in the OIDC adapter to select
the resource, not in the server. That's one of the items that was expected
to be available in the Evaluation API. I don't know if it really makes
sense or not, assuming a general purpose resource mechanism.

Hi Scott,
You can't pass additional attributes along with an authorization request.
However, that is something we want to support on future versions.
Right now, the information you get is basically what is in an access
token. So whatever you push as a claim (e.g.: using mappers) it will be
available to your policies.
That is an important addition to our API in order to push more context to
policies, as you are requesting.
One thing to keep in mind is that we can't blindly trust authorization
requests from clients are they can be easily manipulated. What type of
client are you using ?
Another question, what are you missing in the Evaluation API ? Is there
anything we can provide OOTB ?
Regards.

Would therebe any way to pass additional attributes (say, something from a
REST API call's headers or body) to an authorization request, and access it
in a Javascript or rules based policy? I see that what is available in the
Evaluation API currently is pretty limited.
