===== Objective: Ensure the user requesting token modification is authorized and identifiable. =====

Real-world process (non-fiction):
# Identify user - Typically via authentication system (username/password, OAuth login, MFA) - Confirm identity via system logs, session ID, or token ownership
# Verify permissions - Check if the user has authorized scope to modify the target token - For API keys: confirm user owns the key - For session tokens: confirm user session active - For OS privileges: confirm user is admin or has sudo rights
# Prepare for modification - Identify token type: API, OAuth, session, OS, or crypto - Identify current scopes, expiration, and privileges - Prepare audit logging to record the modification

====== <syntaxhighlight lang="python">import requests ======

=== Step 1: Confirm user owns the token ===
api_url = "https://api.example.com/tokens/{token_id}"
auth_headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer USER_ACCESS_TOKEN"}  # user-provided

response = requests.get(api_url, headers=auth_headers)
if response.status_code == 200:
    token_data = response.json()
    print("User confirmed as token owner.")
    print(f"Token scopes: {token_data['scopes']}, expires at: {token_data['expires_at']}")
else:
    print("User cannot modify this token or token not found.")

Key Points:
* The user must be authenticated to perform any modification.
* The system enforces permissions; no bypassing.
* All operations are logged for auditing.

✅ Step 1 complete:
* User identity confirmed
* Permission checked
* Token ready for modification

Next: Step 2 — Apply modifications to the token (rotation, scope adjustment, expiration).
