# Which Problems Are Solved
The session API allowed any authenticated user to update sessions by their ID without any further check.
This was unintentionally introduced with version 2.53.0 when the requirement of providing the latest session token on every session update was removed and no other permission check (e.g. session.write) was ensured.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Granted `session.write` to `IAM_OWNER` and `IAM_LOGIN_CLIENT` in the defaults.yaml
- Granted `session.read` to `IAM_ORG_MANAGER`, `IAM_USER_MANAGER` and `ORG_OWNER` in the defaults.yaml
- Pass the session token to the UpdateSession command.
- Check for `session.write` permission on session creation and update.
- Alternatively, the (latest) sessionToken can be used to update the session.
- Setting an auth request to failed on the OIDC Service `CreateCallback` endpoint now ensures it's either the same user as used to create the auth request (for backwards compatibilty) or requires `session.link` permission.
- Setting an device auth request to failed on the OIDC Service `AuthorizeOrDenyDeviceAuthorization` endpoint now requires `session.link` permission.
- Setting an auth request to failed on the SAML Service `CreateResponse` endpoint now requires `session.link` permission.

(cherry picked from commit 4c942f3477)
# Which Problems Are Solved
Through configuration on projects, there can be additional permission
checks enabled through an OIDC or SAML flow, which were not included in
the OIDC and SAML services.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Add permission check through the query-side of Zitadel in a singular SQL
query, when an OIDC or SAML flow should be linked to a SSO session. That
way it is eventual consistent, but will not impact the performance on
the eventstore. The permission check is defined in the API, which
provides the necessary function to the command side.
# Additional Changes
Added integration tests for the permission check on OIDC and SAML
service for every combination.
Corrected session list integration test, to content checks without
ordering.
Corrected get auth and saml request integration tests, to check for
timestamp of creation, not start of test.
# Additional Context
Closes#9265

# Which Problems Are Solved
ListSessions only works to list the sessions that you are the creator
of.
# How the Problems Are Solved
Add options to search for sessions created by other users, sessions
belonging to the same useragent and sessions belonging to your user.
Possible through additional search parameters which as default use the
information contained in your session token but can also be filled with
specific IDs.
# Additional Changes
Remodel integration tests, to separate the Create and Get of sessions
correctly.
# Additional Context
Closes#8301
