RedirectToAccessManagementUiOptions#

Ƭ RedirectToAccessManagementUiOptions: RedirectOptions & FetchOptions & { fallbackAccessManagementUi?: UrlString ; resourceOwner?: WebId }

Optional parameters for the [[redirectToAccessManagementUi]] method:

  • fetch?: Pass in a function with a signature compatible with the WHATWG Fetch API, which will be used to make HTTP requests. Primarily useful when requests need to be authenticated. When @inrupt/solid-client-authn-browser is available and this property is not set, fetch will be imported from there. Otherwise, the HTTP requests will be unauthenticated.

  • redirectCallback?: For use in a non-browser environment, this must be provided by the user in order to handle the redirect URL, since setting window.location.href is not an option.

AccessBaseOptions

Optional properties to customizes the access grant behavior. Options include updateAcr which defaults to true.
