Overview

You can use this API to display local UNIX group information and to control UNIX group configurations.

Retrieving UNIX group information

The UNIX group GET endpoint retrieves all of the local UNIX groups configurations for data SVMs.

Examples

Retrieving all of the fields for all of the UNIX group configurations

The UNIX group GET endpoint retrieves all of the local UNIX groups configurations for data SVMs.

Creating a UNIX group configuration

The UNIX group POST endpoint creates a UNIX group configuration for the specified SVM.

Example

# The API:
/api/name-services/unix-groups

# The call:
curl -X POST "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/name-services/unix-groups" -H "accept: application/hal+json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "svm": {"uuid": "179d3c85-7053-11e8-b9b8-005056b41bd1"}, "name": "group1", "id": 111}'

Updating a UNIX group configuration

The UNIX group PATCH endpoint updates the UNIX group ID of the specified UNIX group and the specified SVM.

Example

Modify the group ID of group1 to 112

# The API:
/api/name-services/unix-groups/{svm.uuid}/{name}

# The call:
curl -X PATCH "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/name-services/unix-groups/179d3c85-7053-11e8-b9b8-005056b41bd1/group1" -H "accept: application/hal+json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "id": 112}'

Deleting a UNIX group configuration

The UNIX group DELETE endpoint deletes the specified UNIX group of the specified SVM.

Example

Delete the group 'group1'

# The API:
/api/name-services/unix-groups/{svm.uuid}/{name}

# The call:
curl -X DELETE "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/name-services/unix-groups/179d3c85-7053-11e8-b9b8-005056b41bd1/group1" -H "accept: application/hal+json"
