01

Frontend code includes the LiveKit API secret to mint JWTs client-side for rapid prototyping.

API secret MUST stay server-side. Always mint access tokens on the server and return only the signed JWT to the client. Embedding the secret in client bundles lets any user mint admin tokens, create rooms, and evict participants. Rotate the secret immediately on suspected leak.

02

Operator issues access tokens with TTL=24h to 'avoid frequent re-mint.'

Access tokens should have short TTLs (minutes-to-an-hour) — they grant room join, publish, subscribe. Long TTLs widen the blast radius on token theft. Rely on the SDK to refresh via Room.connect with a new token before expiry, or use server-side refresh endpoints.

03

Operator wants viewer-only role: receive audio/video, cannot publish or send data.

Mint token with video grants room='<name>', can_subscribe=true, can_publish=false, can_publish_data=false. SFU enforces; the viewer's SDK cannot publish even if the app code tries. Default-deny model — omit a grant rather than set it true.
