cis tagging tag association: detach multiple tags from object

Detaches the given tags from the input object. If a tag is already removed from the object, then the individual operation is a no-op and an error will not be added to cis.tagging.tag_association.batch_result.error_messages. To invoke this operation, you need the read privilege on the object and the attach tag privilege each tag. This operation was added in vSphere API 6.5

Request:

HTTP request

POST https://{server}/rest/com/vmware/cis/tagging/tag-association?~action=detach-multiple-tags-from-object

Request Body Structure:

{
    "object_id": {
        "id": "obj-103",
        "type": "string"
    },
    "tag_ids": [
        "obj-103",
        "obj-103"
    ]
}

Request Body Parameters:

Name Type Description
bold = required
object_id dynamic_ID The identifier of the input object.
object_id.type string The type of resource being identified (for example com.acme.Person).

Services that contain operations for creating and deleting resources typically contain a constant specifying the resource type for the resources being created and deleted. The API metamodel metadata services include a service that allows retrieving all the known resource types.
object_id.id string The identifier for a resource whose type is specified by vapi.std.dynamic_ID.type.

When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field type must contain the actual resource type. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field type will contain the actual resource type.
tag_ids string[] The identifiers of the input tags.

Response Type:

Name Type Description
bold = required
value batch_result The outcome of the batch operation and the array of error messages (cis.tagging.tag_association.batch_result.error_messages) describing detachment failures.
value.success boolean This is true if the batch operation completed without any errors. Otherwise it is false and all or some operations have failed. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.5
value.error_messages localizable_message[] The array of error messages. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.5
value.error_messages[].id string Unique identifier of the localizable string or message template.

This identifier is typically used to retrieve a locale-specific string or message template from a message catalog.
value.error_messages[].default_message string The value of this localizable string or message template in the en_US (English) locale. If vapi.std.localizable_message.id refers to a message template, the default message will contain the substituted arguments. This value can be used by clients that do not need to display strings and messages in the native language of the user. It could also be used as a fallback if a client is unable to access the appropriate message catalog.
value.error_messages[].args string[] Arguments to be substituted into a message template.

Errors:

HTTP Status Code Type Description
403 unauthorized if you do not have the privilege to read the object.
