Authentication

JWT bearer token for a PostgREST API jwt discovered

Authorization: Bearer <credential>

PostgREST does not issue tokens itself; the database administrator configures JWT verification and clients use a JWT generated either from inside the database or by an external service, as described in Authentication. The token must contain a role claim matching a PostgreSQL role the configured authenticator can SET ROLE into.
