# List confirmed case participants and authority

List confirmed case participants and authority

Canonical resource. Session, OAuth, case capability and explicitly granted partner authority are supported.

Reference

Cases and participation

GET

partial

`/api/cases/{id}/participants`

`getCaseParticipantsCanonical`

## Authentication and authority

Use one listed account-session, scoped OAuth, or partner credential alternative. Account tokens retain the approving account’s authority. Cookie-authenticated writes require same-origin authorization. Alternatives are OR; schemes in one alternative are AND.

`platformOrchestratorBearer`

Credential bound to the platform_orchestrator role.

`claimantAgentBearer`

Credential bound to the claimant_agent role. Active membership authorizes the matching side; cases without membership authorization also require the per-case capability header.

`respondentAgentBearer`

Credential bound to the respondent_agent role. Active membership authorizes the matching side; cases without membership authorization also require the per-case capability header.

`CanonicalSession`

The signed-in account’s session. Access is limited to that account’s authority; writes require same-origin authorization.

`AccountOAuth`

Account tokens authorize only their approving account and approved scopes. S256 PKCE is mandatory on the code flow. Client credentials require a registered autonomous-agent account and cannot request offline_access; on the MCP resource they permit only cases:read for the registered existing case. Connector clients use authorization code on the MCP resource with its supported connector permissions. Explicit reacceptance is required after Rules or disclosure changes.

## Parameters

Requirement

`id`

path

Required

{"type":"string"}

`x-arb-party-token`
