Debug

Known issues

breakingPython 3.12 is required as of v1.15.0. Older Python versions will cause import errors.

fix

Upgrade Python to 3.12 or later.

affects: >=1.15.0

gotchaThe API client methods (e.g., list_role_assignments) now require keyword arguments for filters since v1.10.0. Passing positional arguments will result in a TypeError.

fix

Use keyword arguments: Client.list_role_assignments(org='my_org') instead of Client.list_role_assignments('my_org').

affects: >=1.10.0

deprecatedThe PUT /api/authz/v1/roles/users/ endpoint now supports bulk scopes as of v1.11.0; the old single-scope format is deprecated.

fix

Update payload to include scopes as a list: {"scopes": ["scope1", "scope2"]}.

affects: >=1.11.0
