Overview

A role can comprise of multiple tuples and each tuple consists of a REST API path or command/command directory path and its access level. If the tuple refers to a command/command directory path, it may optionally be associated with a query. These APIs can be used to retrieve or modify the associated access level and optional query. They can also be used to delete one of the constituent REST API paths or command/command directory paths within a role. The REST API path can be a resource-qualified endpoint. Currently, 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.

The role can be SVM-scoped or cluster-scoped.

Specify the owner UUID and the role name in the URI path. The owner UUID corresponds to the UUID of the SVM for which the role has been created and can be obtained from the response body of a GET request performed on one of the following APIs: /api/security/roles for all roles /api/security/roles/?scope=svm for SVM-scoped roles /api/security/roles/?owner.name=</i> for roles in a specific SVM This API response contains the complete URI for each tuple of the role and can be used for GET, PATCH, or DELETE operations.

Note The access level for paths in pre-defined roles cannot be updated.

Examples

Updating the access level for a REST API path in the privilege tuple of an existing role

# The API:
PATCH "/api/security/roles/{owner.uuid}/{name}/privileges/{path}"

# The call:
curl -X PATCH "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/security/roles/aaef7c38-4bd3-11e9-b238-0050568e2e25/svm_role1/privileges/%2Fapi%2Fprotocols" -d '{"access":"all"}'

Updating the access level for a command/command directory path in the privilege tuple of an existing role

# The API:
PATCH "/api/security/roles/{owner.uuid}/{name}/privileges/{path}"

# The call:
curl -X PATCH "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/security/roles/aaef7c38-4bd3-11e9-b238-0050568e2e25/svm_role1/privileges/netp%20port" -d '{"access":"readonly","query":"-type if-group&#124;vlan"}'
