The administrator is identified by the token. This is the route for onboarding someone who cannot complete enrollment themselves, and it skips the three-step self-service flow entirely: there is no device to prove, so nothing is verified. That is why it is granted to administrative roles only. ⚠️ The response body IS the target member's credential and is shown once. Hand it to them over a channel you trust. Failures: - `400` — the channel is unknown, or the target account lacks what it needs. - `403` — your token does not hold the administrative MFA resource. - `404` — no such user. - `409` — that channel is already enabled for the target. - `503 IDE-0066` — the identity provider is unavailable (unreachable, too slow to answer, or failing). Nothing about the request was wrong; retry it later. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /en/openapi/v3-current/AM-identity.yaml post /v1/users/{id}/mfa/admin/enable openapi: 3.1.0 info: contact: name: Lerian Studio url: https://lerian.studio description: OpenAPI 3.1 surface for the Access Manager identity component. license: name: Lerian Studio General License title: Plugin Access Manager — Identity API version: v1 servers: - url: https://identity.sandbox.lerian.net security: [] tags: - description: >- M2M-only: each plugin declares its own permissions, roles and M2M contract, and the server reconciles them. name: Declarations - description: >- A tenant administrator's customers.
