Group API

Group API

Groups can be accessed and modified through this API using four services: GET, POST, PUT, and PATCH. These four services allow for the retrieval, creation, complete update, and partial update of groups.

Below is the list of possible global permissions.

GET

There are two implementations of GET. One will find a group with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the group . The other will find a list of groups matching the parameters supplied to it.

GET by ID

This GET service will find a group with the given Id and return the JSON representation of the object. 

API URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/administration/security/group/{Id}

Request

400

Bad request

401

Authentication failure

403

Authorization failure (no access to resource)

404

Example

If we had a group in our database with an Id of 10000 and had the following attributes

Group - 10000
{ "description": "test", "isFlexDeployAdministrator": false, "groupId": 10000, "groupName": "test", "isActive": true, "globalPermissions": [ { "objectType": "WORKFLOW", "actionType": "READ" }], "deploymentPermissions": {"environments": [ 18605, 20610 ], "allEnvironments":false } }

When we run a GET request at the following URL

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/administration/security/group/10000

The GET request would return the following JSON group object

Group - 10000
{ "description": "test", "isFlexDeployAdministrator": false, "groupId": 10000, "groupName": "test", "isActive": true, "globalPermissions": [ { "objectType": "WORKFLOW", "actionType": "READ" }], "deploymentPermissions": {"environments": [ 18605, 20610 ], "allEnvironments":false } }

GET (Using Query Parameters)

This GET service will return a list of groups in the form of JSON objects based on the query parameters group name. Groups are only returned if they match all of the specified query parameters. If no query parameters are given this request will return the entire list of groups.

API URLs

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/administration/security/group?

Append the following character sequences to the above URL to specify Query parameters.
Use '&' between successive query parameters: 

groupName={groupname}

Examples:
To search by group name:

http://host:port/flexdeploy/rest/v1/administration/security/group?groupName=read

* searching by group name returns all groups that contain the specified string in their group name

The query parameters are not case sensitive. Searching by groupName=NAME is the same as searching by groupName=name.
