role_privilege

A tuple containing a REST endpoint or a command/command directory path and the access level assigned to that endpoint or command/command directory. If the "path" attribute refers to a command/command directory path, the tuple could additionally contain an optional query. The REST endpoint can be a resource-qualified endpoint. At present, the only supported resource-qualified endpoints are the following

Snapshots APIs

  • /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/snapshots

File System Analytics APIs

  • /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/files

  • /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/top-metrics/clients

  • /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/top-metrics/directories

  • /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/top-metrics/files

  • /api/storage/volumes/{volume.uuid}/top-metrics/users

  • /api/svm/svms/{svm.uuid}/top-metrics/clients

  • /api/svm/svms/{svm.uuid}/top-metrics/directories

  • /api/svm/svms/{svm.uuid}/top-metrics/files

  • /api/svm/svms/{svm.uuid}/top-metrics/users

In the above APIs, wildcard character * could be used in place of {volume.uuid} or {svm.uuid} to denote all volumes or all SVMs, depending upon whether the REST endpoint references volumes or SVMs.

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.

role

A named set of privileges that defines the rights an account has when it is assigned the role.
