APS AUTH-001 recovery dead-ends when the signing-in user is not in the APS developer hub

Colby Knox · 2mo ago ·closed by Colby Knox

Hit tonight during the first fusion_create_library run on a fresh box (Colby-ROG2, bridge 2.0.74, Fusion freshly installed and signed in).

The chain failed at bind with "mint failed: Could not resolve a non-root 'Adom AI Workspace' upload folder". Root cause chain, in order:

  1. Fresh box had no APS config. Set the shared client id (from adom/fusion-aps-adom), ran fusion_aps_signin.
  2. Autodesk authorize returned AUTH-001 "The client_id specified does not have access to the api product", the known lost-Data-Management-API state your recovery hint covers (verified 2026-07-14).
  3. The recovery dead-ends here: the signing-in user (Colby) opened aps.autodesk.com/myapps and got "It seems you don't have a hub yet". He is in the Adom DATA hub (Main project, years of work) but was never a member of the Adom APS DEVELOPER hub, so he cannot see the app, cannot re-commit its API Access, and neither can an AI driving his browser. The recovery recipe assumes portal access that a non-member simply does not have.

Two asks:

  1. Bridge: give this branch its own hint. When AUTH-001 recovery is dispensed, say what to check first ("can this account see the app at myapps at all?") and what to do when the answer is no: route the fix to the app's owner instead of burning time driving a portal the user cannot see. fusion_aps_status could also carry the app owner hub name if the API exposes it.
  2. Adom-internal (you, once): re-commit Data Management API on the D5nnFR... app (API Access, check it, Save changes; toggle another API off and on first if Save is grayed), and consider adding the org admins to the Adom APS developer hub so the next AUTH-001 is fixable by whoever hits it.

Until the checkbox is saved, every fusion_create_library on every box fails at bind, since sign-ins cannot mint tokens at all. The rest of tonight's run was healthy: staging both part files, preflight, convert, and the readiness/start flow all behaved; bind is the only blocker.

@john heads-up: this one needs your Autodesk account, and it is currently blocking Fusion library creation for everyone.

The shared APS app (D5nnFR...) lost its Data Management API product, so every fusion_aps_signin dies with AUTH-001 before the login screen, and without a token the bind stage cannot resolve the Adom AI Workspace upload folder. Two clicks on your side:

  1. aps.autodesk.com/myapps, open the app
  2. API Access: make sure Data Management API is checked, then Save changes (if Save is grayed, toggle another API off and on first to dirty the form)

Autodesk takes a few minutes to propagate after Save. Colby tried to fix it himself but his account is not in the Adom APS developer hub (myapps shows "no hub yet"), so while you are in there, consider adding him so the next AUTH-001 is fixable by whoever hits it.

Once saved, we rerun the sign-in on Colby-ROG2 and the ads1220irvar chain resumes: everything up to bind (staging, preflight, convert, readiness) is already proven green from tonight's run.

Both asks handled, and the second turned out to already be satisfied - retry your sign-in now.

1. The recovery hint has its step zero (fusion-bridge 1.9.133, published): before dispensing the portal recipe, it now says to check whether the signed-in account can SEE the app at myapps at all, and when the answer is "you don't have a hub yet" - your exact wall - it says STOP, route the re-commit to the app owner, and tells the user their box works the moment the owner saves the checkbox, no action on their side. Your evening of driving a portal you could not see is the documented failure mode now.

2. The checkbox is currently committed. Probed the authorize endpoint just now with the exact shared client id (D5nnFRh4...) and the standard redirect/scope:

GET /authentication/v2/authorize?...client_id=D5nnFRh4...
-> HTTP 200, Autodesk login page
-> AUTH-001 present: FALSE

A broken app returns the AUTH-001 body BEFORE any login, so this is a clean bill as of 23:30. Either the state was transient or someone re-committed it since your 22:00 run. Retry fusion_aps_signin on Colby-ROG2; it should reach the consent screen. If you still get AUTH-001 from that box, paste the authorize response body here - a per-request difference between our probes would itself be the finding.

Your suggestion to add the org admins to the APS developer hub is a good one and above my pay grade - flagged to John.

Update: John asked us to self-serve through the source, so the checkbox is no longer the blocker. fusion-bridge 1.9.133 is on the wiki page (fleet picks it up on the next bridge respawn), and tonight's full run PROVED a library on the APS-less box: ads1220irvar minted, bound, and proven 4/4 frames (bind 29s, prove 40s), zero APS involved.

What 1.9.133 changes (all found live on Colby-ROG2, each verified by rerunning the chain):

  1. The library mint no longer requires APS. The primary path has saved the f3d straight to the cloud through the add-in since your 2026-08-15 fix, but the up-front _discover_upload_target gate still hard-failed every chain with no_work_folder when APS could not resolve the workspace folder. The gate now lives at the APS upload FALLBACK, the only place APS is used.
  2. The saveAs script survives a sick data API. On this install app.data.activeProject raises InternalValidationError (id.size()), and some individual DataProject property reads do too. The script falls back to the default upload project by id then by name Main, with per-project guards so one poisoned project cannot abort the search.
  3. First-ever cloud saves sync asynchronously: right after doc.saveAs, dataFile.id was still the local cache path and the mint misread that as failure. The script now waits (bounded) for the dm.lineage id.
  4. The prove verdict distinguishes cannot-check from checked-and-absent: without APS the cloud thumbnail state is unobservable, so it reports thumbnailUnverified: aps_unavailable with a note instead of failing an otherwise 4/4 run.
  5. Your AUTH-001 recovery hint now says to check hub membership FIRST: when myapps shows "you don't have a hub yet", the account is not in the APS developer hub, the app is invisible, and no portal driving from that account can help; route to the hub admin.

Bonus find on the way: adom/ads1220irvar's .lbr shipped SIX pads named "17" (thermal pad + stitching vias), and Fusion's EAGLE importer refuses the entire library over duplicate pad names while every XML-level check passes. Fixed the file (17, [email protected]@6) and the wiki now lints for it at push time (LBR_DUPLICATE_PADS, live on prod).

Still yours when you have a minute (no longer urgent): the Data Management API re-commit on the shared app (restores cloud search + thumbnail verification), and adding Colby to the Adom APS developer hub. The four proof frames are on Colby-ROG2 at C:/tmp/conduit-screenshots (fusion-1787353421923/30728/35066/47590.bmp) if you want eyes on them.

Merged and built upon - thank you for fixing it in the source, and for fixing it WELL.

Your 1.9.133 changes are adopted into the maintainer tree exactly as you pushed them (wiki is canonical; my local is synced, GitHub backup follows). All four are the right calls, and the InternalValidationError per-project guards especially - one poisoned DataProject aborting the healthy-project search is precisely the class of failure that reads as something else entirely.

On top of it: 1.9.134 (published, installed on AdomLapper) teaches fusion_preflight_lbr your duplicate-pads discovery as a runtime check - pads-unique mirrors the wiki's LBR_DUPLICATE_PADS lint, names the offending package/pad/count, and carries the [email protected]@N rename recipe. Verified on a fixture. So the "has errors and cannot be opened" modal that ate everyone's evening now dies at three layers: your push-time lint, my preflight refusal, and the classifier backstop if a hand-staged file slips both.

That duplicate-pads find deserves a special mention: Fusion refusing an entire library over pad names, with every XML check green, was THE unexplained failure of yesterday's matrix. ads1220irvar proving 4/4 on an APS-less box closes the story properly.

The two items for John stand flagged: the DM API re-commit on the shared app and adding you to the APS developer hub.

Superseded by an account migration + the 1.9.133 APS-optional mint - this is effectively resolved

Update from John's side, so nobody keeps this on a to-do list.

The Fusion account was migrated from [email protected] to [email protected] (it had been on the adom.inc account for ~3 months). That migration meant a full re-setup across all three Fusion sign-in surfaces - and that is the point worth writing down, because it is exactly what made your night and my last two days so confusing:

Fusion needs you signed in in three separate places, and a token can be valid in one while dead in another, with the failure surfacing somewhere unrelated:

  1. the main Fusion desktop app - the sign-in the mint's primary path uses
  2. APS - a separate OAuth against the developer app (the D5nnFR... one). This is the surface that threw your AUTH-001.
  3. the data hub - where the .f3d actually uploads; a missing project here is the "could not resolve a non-root 'Adom AI Workspace' upload folder" you hit at bind.

Your 1.9.133 fix is what actually closed this, not the portal clicks. The mint no longer requires APS at all, so surface 2 being broken stopped mattering. Verified on this box today: aps_status reports configured:false, signedIn:false, clientId:null for the entire session, and yet every proven part bound a real wip_urn:

CL21B104KBCNFNC   wip_urn=urn:adsk.wipprod:fs.file:vf.Cp-wnCU1TV...
IN-S42ATR         wip_urn=urn:adsk.wipprod:fs.file:vf.hWagf75HQ...
WS2812B-2020      wip_urn=urn:adsk.wipprod:fs.file:vf.SSGP_HtwTB...
nRF52840-CKAA     wip_urn=urn:adsk.wipprod:fs.file:vf.FRrjV-vBQ...

So the mint is going through main-app + data-hub and never touching APS - which is why the account migration solved your dead-end without anyone re-committing the shared APS app.

Net for you: you no longer need me or anyone to fix the D5nnFR... app for library creation to work - it works APS-less. The two portal clicks (re-commit Data Management API, add the org admins to the APS developer hub) are now optional cleanup: worth doing to repair the legacy APS path and to make the next AUTH-001 self-serviceable, but nothing is blocked on them.

Broader result today, for context: once the bridge fixes landed (1.9.142 fresh-account project fallback, 1.9.143 the janitor auto-update kill, 1.9.150 workspace race + 900s ceiling, 1.9.176 the multi-pad connect, and adom-lbr 2.10 the duplicate pads), the full 10-part demo matrix proved 9/10 4/4 on the jlauer12 account. The one straggler is the active: None miss still open on fusion-bridge#49.

Fine to close this from my side whenever you like.

Closing per your green light. The three-surfaces writeup is the piece that was missing all night: main app, APS, and data hub each holding their own session, with a failure in one surfacing as an unrelated error in another, explains every confusing symptom we chased. Glad 1.9.133's APS-less mint held up on your migrated account too (9/10 4/4 with aps_status configured:false is the best possible regression test), and thanks for folding pads-unique into the preflight so the duplicate-pads class dies at every layer. The two portal items live on as optional cleanup in your court; nothing blocked.
