POST /security/roles/{owner.uuid}/{name}/privileges

Introduced In: 9.6

Adds a privilege tuple (of REST URI or command/command directory path, its access level and an optional query, if the "path" refers to a command/command directory path) to an existing role.

Required parameters

  • owner.uuid - UUID of the SVM that houses this role.

  • name - Name of the role to be updated.

  • path - REST URI path (example: /api/storage/volumes) or command/command directory path (example: snaplock compliance-clock). Can be a resource-qualified endpoint (example: /api/storage/volumes/43256a71-be02-474d-a2a9-9642e12a6a2c/snapshots). Currently, resource-qualified endpoints are limited to the "snapshots" endpoint: /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/snapshots and /api/storage/volumes//snapshots. "" is a wildcard character denoting "all" volumes.

  • access - Desired access level for the REST URI path or command/command directory.

  • security login rest-role create

Request Body

Name Type Description

_links

_links

access

string

Access level for the REST endpoint or command/command directory path. If it denotes the access level for a command/command directory path, the only supported enum values are 'none','readonly' and 'all'.

path

string

Either of REST URI/endpoint OR command/command directory path.

query

string

Optional attribute that can be specified only if the "path" attribute refers to a command/command directory path. The privilege tuple implicitly defines a set of objects the role can or cannot access at the specified access level. The query further reduces this set of objects to a subset of objects that the role is allowed to access. The query attribute must be applicable to the command/command directory specified by the "path" attribute. It is defined using one or more parameters of the command/command directory path specified by the "path" attribute.

    "self": {
