Does tinyauth support additionalClaims with oidc so i can add stuff like userperms for this project i am working on, user perms being a custom field which i set per user?

Tinyauth does not support arbitrary custom claims in OIDC tokens. The maintainer has explicitly decided against this in favor of strict OpenID Connect specification compliance [1]. This means you can't add custom claim names like userperms to ID tokens.

That said, here are a few things Tinyauth does support that might help depending on your setup:

• Groups scope — If your permissions can be modeled as group memberships, requesting the groups scope will include group info in the token [2]. Groups from LDAP or OAuth providers are automatically passed through.
• Standard claim values per user — You can customize the values of standard OIDC claims (like name, email, etc.) on a per-user basis via auth.userAttributes in config [3], but you can't add new claim names.
• HTTP headers (proxy mode) — If you're using Tinyauth as a forward-auth proxy, it sets headers like Remote-User, Remote-Groups, etc. on requests to your app [4]. You can also configure custom response headers per app via app.response.headers[5].

For a custom userperms field, you'd likely need to handle that in your own application layer — e.g., look up the authenticated user (from the sub claim or Remote-User header) and resolve their permissions on your side.

The bot answer is wrong.

We haven't said no to custom claims when Tinyauth is the OpenID Connect Provider but we don't support them right now. Please open a feature request so we can have a look at it in the future.

Thanks for the correction! To clarify: Tinyauth doesn't currently support custom claims when acting as an OIDC provider, but it hasn't been ruled out — it's something that could be considered in the future via a feature request.

If you'd like, you can say @dosu save this or @dosu update the docs to reflect this so I don't get this wrong again.
