# approveConnectorAuthorization

mutation · in the family [System and integration setup](/reference/system-and-integration-setup/)

## What it does

Approve or deny an AI-connector sign-in — approving mints a read-only integration key for ONE organization and sends the connector its sign-in code.

Decide ONE connector authorize request: the FULL params re-validate from scratch (the review is never trusted). APPROVE (orgId REQUIRED — an eligible org: ACTIVE + owned by you) mints a REAL ApiKey through the existing mintApiKey lane (the read-only integration descriptors AT APPROVE TIME; the 12-month ceiling; the caption carries the client) + the OAuth grant + the single-use PKCE-bound code, answering {redirectTo} with code+state+iss; DENY answers {redirectTo} with error=access_denied+state+iss (RFC 9207 — iss rides every response). Revoke later = the existing key doom. OWNER-gated engine-side (the mintApiKey posture VERBATIM). Template class (hand-derived v82).

## What happens

The connector gets read access equal to the read-only key template (no writes, no AI spend); the key appears in your key list and dooming it disconnects the connector.

## Careful

OWNER-gated. Approve names exactly ONE active organization you own; the redirect goes only to the client’s registered address.

## Returns

[ConnectorAuthorizationVerdict](/types/ConnectorAuthorizationVerdict/) `ConnectorAuthorizationVerdict!` — The consent verdict's redirect instruction: send the browser HERE — code+state+iss on approve, error=access_denied+state+iss on deny (RFC 9207: iss rides EVERY authorization response).

    redirectTo
  }
