hi @unique. thanks for your question. May I know what you already tried for both rest/grpc?
what errors you got and what docs did you followed(if any)

__unique._@Rajat this one is for rest

your code looks fine. few more questions are you

creating a service user?.
Grant Manager permissions to the service user.
Create a key pair for the service user who wants to access the Zitadel API?.

R

Rajat Singh•3/21/25, 11:47 AM

go run main.go --domain <your zitadel instance domain> --key ./key.json

go run main.go --domain <your zitadel instance domain> --key ./key.json

this is how you should be running your code,

key.json

key.json

is the key pair you create for that service user.

you can use this API

to perform user grants

Hi @unique. I guess similar problem here too I guess, you need to grant manager role to your user
https://zitadel.com/docs/guides/integrate/zitadel-apis/access-zitadel-apis#2-grant-a-manager-role-to-the-service-user

ZITADEL Docs

This guide explains what ZITADEL APIs are and how to access ZITADEL APIs using a service user to manage all types of resources and settings.

hi and goodmorning

if you see the error, it says ""invalid_client" "client not found"", it could be a client mismatch that is happening.
Did you tried generating another key pair after assigning the manager role?
I will try your setup against my service user anyways, but this could be the issue.
Let me check

Hi @unique. I was able to make auth token work
itadel-go will create the authentication for your client
but it’s essentially based on the oidc library
this is the part in zitadel-go: https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel-go/blob/main/pkg/client/middleware/auth.go#L28-L57
used for example in the mgmt client example: https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel-go/blob/main/example/mgmt/mgmt.go#L39

I modiefied your accessToken code a bit to make it work, based on what I said above

func getAccessToken() string {
    issuer := zitadelDomain
    jsonFilePath := "api.json"                                                         // Ensure this constant/variable is defined
    scopes := []string{oidc.ScopeOpenID, "urn:zitadel:iam:org:project🆔zitadel:aud"} // Adjust scopes as needed, but you need it to access zitadel APIs

    tokenSource, err := profile.NewJWTProfileTokenSourceFromKeyFile(issuer, jsonFilePath, scopes)
    if err != nil {
        // Log the values being used
        log.Printf("❌ Failed to create JWT profile token source. Issuer: '%s', Keyfile: '%s'. Error: %v", issuer, jsonFilePath, err)
        log.Fatalf("Exiting.") // Use Fatalf to print and exit
    }

    // Retrieve the token using the token source
    token, err := tokenSource.Token()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalf("❌ Failed to get access token using JWT profile: %v", err)
    }

    fmt.Println("✅ Access Token Obtained via JWT Profile Grant")
    return token.AccessToken
}

func getAccessToken() string {
    issuer := zitadelDomain
    jsonFilePath := "api.json"                                                         // Ensure this constant/variable is defined
    scopes := []string{oidc.ScopeOpenID, "urn:zitadel:iam:org:project🆔zitadel:aud"} // Adjust scopes as needed, but you need it to access zitadel APIs
