Name Type Description
bold = required
value package_info The vapi.metadata.privilege.package_info instance that corresponds to package_id.
value.privileges string[] List of default privileges to be used for all the operations present in this package. If a particular operation element has no explicit privileges defined in the privilege definition file, these privileges are used for enforcing authorization.

value.services list Information about all service elements contained in this package element that contain privilege information. The key in the key/value pairs is the identifier of the service element and the value in the key/value pairs is the privilege information for the service element. For an explanation of privilege information containment within service elements, see vapi.metadata.privilege.service.

When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the key in the field key/value pairs must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.service. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the key in the field key/value pairs will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.service.List of {"key": string, "value": service_info}

value.services[].key string
value.services[].value service_info
value.services[].value.operations list Information about all operation elements contained in this service element that contain privilege information. The key in the key/value pairs is the identifier of the operation element and the value in the key/value pairs is the privilege information for the operation element.

For an explanation of containment of privilege information within operation elements, see vapi.metadata.privilege.service.operation.

When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the key in the field key/value pairs must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.operation. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the key in the field key/value pairs will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.vapi.operation.List of {"key": string, "value": operation_info}

value.services[].value.operations[].key string
value.services[].value.operations[].value operation_info
value.services[].value.operations[].value.privileges string[] List of all privileges assigned to the operation element.

value.services[].value.operations[].value.privilege_info privilege_info[] Privilege information of all the parameter elements of the operation element. For an explanation of containment of privilege information within parameter elements, see vapi.metadata.privilege.privilege_info.

value.services[].value.operations[].value.privilege_info[].property_path string The property_path points to an entity that is used in the operation element. An entity can either be present in one of the parameter elements or if a parameter is a structure element, it could also be present in one of the field elements.

If the privilege is assigned to an entity used in the parameter, property_path will just contain the name of the parameter field. If the privilege is assigned to an entity in one of the field elements of a parameter element that is a structure element, then property_path will contain a path to the field element starting from the parameter name.

value.services[].value.operations[].value.privilege_info[].privileges string[] List of privileges assigned to the entity that is being referred by vapi.metadata.privilege.privilege_info.property_path.

Errors:

HTTP Status Code Type Description
404 not_found if the package element associated with package_id does not have any privilege information.
