Security APIs

11/23/2022 Contributors

You can use the APIs in the security category to control user access to selected cluster objects in Active IQ Unified Manager. You can add local users or database users. You can also add remote users or groups that belong to an authentication server. Based on the privileges of the roles that you assign to the users, they can manage the storage objects or view the data in Unified Manager.

You must have the Application Administrator role for running these operations. You can also use the Unified Manager web UI for configuring these settings.

The APIs under the security category use the users parameter, that is the user name, and not the key parameter as the unique identifier for the user entity.
