uip admin external-apps

Syntax and options for `uip admin external-apps`, which manages OAuth2 client registrations and their federated credentials for external application integrations.

uip admin external-apps manages OAuth2 client registrations — external applications and services that authenticate against UiPath using their own client ID/secret (or workload identity federation) rather than a user's own login. Each app is either confidential (server-side, has a secret) or non-confidential (public, e.g. a SPA or mobile app, no secret). A nested federated-credentials group manages workload-identity-federation bindings (e.g. GitHub Actions OIDC) that let an external app authenticate without a static secret at all.

Konzepte

• Confidential vs. non-confidential. Default is confidential (server-side, gets a client secret). --non-confidential creates a public client with no secret — it only supports --user-scope (delegated) scopes, never --app-scope; passing --app-scope on a non-confidential app fails client-side.
• Scopes are split by grant type. --user-scope (delegated, requires a signed-in user) and --app-scope (app-only, client-credentials grant) are independent lists — pass either or both. At least one is required on create. See uip admin scopes list for the full catalog of available scope names.
• --scope is a deprecated alias for --app-scope. If both are given, --app-scope wins; a blank value on either (an empty or whitespace-only string) is rejected rather than silently treated as "no scopes."
• A redirect URI is required whenever user scopes are involved — either because the app is non-confidential, or because --user-scope was passed — since both need the OAuth2 authorization-code flow. An app that's confidential and app-scope-only doesn't need one.
• update re-derives scopes from resources when you don't pass any — if you omit both --user-scope and --app-scope, the command re-sends the app's existing scopes unchanged rather than clearing them; the same non-confidential/redirect-URI validation as create still applies to whatever the final scope set and redirect URI end up being.
• Secrets are shown once. generate-secret's returned value cannot be retrieved again — store it immediately.
