Create a grant for a user
Create an identity grant directly without going through the IGA approval workflow. This is the primary endpoint for programmatic access provisioning — use it when an external system (HRMS, onboarding tool, compliance platform) needs to grant access to a user.
**Required fields:** `user_id` and `entitlement_id`. Call `GET /iga/apps` then `GET /iga/entitlements?app_id={id}` to discover valid entitlement IDs.
**Optional fields:**
- `policy_id` or `policy_key` — link the grant to a specific access policy
- `granted_by` — record which user or system initiated the grant
- `granted_at` — backdate the grant timestamp (ISO 8601); defaults to now
The grant method (how provisioning happens) is automatically derived from the entitlement's provisioning configuration — Okta, Azure AD, JumpCloud, Google Workspace, or manual service request.
Returns the created grant with its `id`, resolved `status`, `entitlement`, `app`, and provisioning details.
