Retrieve the access level for a REST API path or command/command directory path for a role

PDFs

GET /security/roles/{owner.uuid}/{name}/privileges/{path}

Introduced In: 9.6

Retrieves the access level for a REST API path or command/command directory path for the specified role. Optionally retrieves the query, if 'path' refers to a command/command directory path. 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

Ontap S3 APIs

– /api/protocols/s3/services/{svm.uuid}/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 {volume.uuid} refers to the -instance-uuid field value in the "volume show" command output at diagnostic privilege level. It can also be fetched through REST endpoint /api/storage/volumes.

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.
