Permissions & config reference

A quick lookup for the governance permission slugs, the feature-gate defaults and the operational knobs.
Full prose is in Configuration.

Governance permission slugs

Governance features are gated per layer / app / role / user via NativeFeatureScope. Each feature has a
default state and (where applicable) a controlling permission:

Feature	Default	Permission slug
Access review	`on`	`iam:access_review.manage`
Access request	`off`	`iam:access_request.use`
PIM (JIT elevation)	`off`	`iam:pim.activate`
Separation of Duties	`detect`	—
Least-privilege	`on`	`iam:least_privilege.view`
Anomaly detection	`on`	`iam:anomaly.view`

off features are privacy-by-default (e.g. the access-request catalog is empty until enabled). detect
means observe-and-flag without blocking.

Least-privilege thresholds

config/iam-governance.php → least_privilege:

Key	Default	Meaning
`unused_days`	90	grant unused N days → revoke candidate
`dormant_days`	90	account no login N days → dormant
`wide_role_permissions`	50	role with > N permissions → too broad

SoD toxic combinations

config/iam-governance.php → toxic_combinations — permission pairs that must not be co-held:

'toxic_combinations' => [
    // ['finance:vendor.create', 'finance:payment.approve'],
],

Config files & publish tag

File	Holds
`config/iam.php`	identity, tokens, oauth, admin, directory, crypto, audit, observability, governance, ai, mcp, integrations
`config/iam-governance.php`	feature gates, toxic combinations, least-privilege thresholds

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-iam-server-config"

Routes & middleware

File	Prefix (config key)	Auth
`routes/admin.php`	`api/iam/v1` (`iam.admin.route_prefix`)	`iam.admin_auth` + `iam.can`
`routes/health.php`	same prefix	unauthenticated
`routes/oauth.php`	`oauth` (`iam.oauth.route_prefix`)	OAuth
`routes/oidc.php`	root	OIDC discovery / JWKS

Middleware alias	Class	Role
`iam.admin_auth`	`AdminAuthenticate`	bearer-token admin auth
`iam.can`	`AuthorizeIamPermission`	PDP authorization (`iam.can:iam:<permission>`)
`iam.idempotency`	`IdempotencyKey`	dedupe writes via `Idempotency-Key`

Key environment variables

Variable	Purpose
`IAM_RUN_MIGRATIONS`	Auto-load migrations (default true)
`IAM_OAUTH_ENCRYPTION_KEY`	base64 32-byte OAuth code/refresh key
`IAM_ADMIN_AUDIENCE`	Expected `aud` of admin tokens (fail-closed)
`IAM_DIRECTORY_ENABLED`	Enable directory sync/test triggers

Configuration — the prose version with every section.
Least-privilege & SoD — using these thresholds.
Database schema — the tables behind it all.
