New Sessions and Permissions Guide and Documentation Updates

We've added a comprehensive guide for managing sessions and permissions, and updated our core concepts documentation with important clarifications.

What's New​

New Guide: Managing Sessions and Permissions​

We've added a new quick start guide: Managing sessions and permissions. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for:

  • Detecting permission changes using webhooks and session comparison
  • Handling session deletion and revocation
  • Communicating permission changes to players
  • Implementing permission upgrade flows
  • Understanding how challenges relate to sessions

This guide is essential for any integration that needs to respond to permission changes over time, such as when parents modify settings or players age up.

Documentation Updates​

Sessions Documentation​

The Sessions concept page has been updated with important clarifications:

  • Session ID persistence: Players have exactly one session per product. The session ID persists through permission changes, but a new session ID is created if a session is revoked and the consent flow is completed again.
  • Session deletion behavior: Deleted sessions return HTTP 400 with NOT_FOUND error code (not 404). This is intentional—deleted sessions should be treated as if they never existed.
  • Age-up changes: Age-up events don't trigger webhook notifications. You must use session comparison to detect these changes.

Permissions Documentation​

The Permissions concept page has been enhanced with:

  • managedBy field changes: Clarified that managedBy can change over time (for example, from GUARDIAN to PLAYER when a player ages up).
  • Player-managed permissions: When a player requests to enable a PLAYER-managed permission via the /session/upgrade API, it's automatically enabled without creating a challenge.
  • Permissions upgrade content: The permissions upgrade documentation has been merged into the Permissions page for better discoverability.

What Changed​

Merged Documentation​

  • The Permissions upgrade concept page has been merged into the Permissions page. All references have been updated to point to the new location.
