Name Description Type Notes
_create_time Timestamp of resource creation EpochMsTimestamp Readonly
Sortable
_create_user ID of the user who created this resource string Readonly
_last_modified_time Timestamp of last modification EpochMsTimestamp Readonly
Sortable
_last_modified_user ID of the user who last modified this resource string Readonly
_links References related to this resource

The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST.
array of ResourceLink Readonly
_protection Indicates protection status of this resource

Protection status is one of the following:
PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed
to modify it.
NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed
to modify it
REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super
user and can modify it, but only when providing
the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true.
UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this
entity.
string Readonly
_revision Generation of this resource config

The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected.

_self Link to this resource SelfResourceLink Readonly
_system_owned Indicates system owned resource boolean Readonly
children subtree for this type within policy tree

subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements.

description Description of this resource string Maximum length: 1024
Sortable
display_name Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI

Defaults to ID if not set
string Maximum length: 255
Sortable
id Unique identifier of this resource string Sortable
is_auto_draft Auto draft flag

Flag to indicate whether draft is auto created.
True indicates that the draft is an auto draft.
False indicates that the draft is a manual draft.
boolean Readonly
Default: "False"
lock_comments Policy draft lock/unlock comments

Comments for a policy draft lock/unlock.
string
lock_modified_by User who locked a policy draft

ID of the user who last modified the lock for a policy draft.
string Readonly
lock_modified_time Policy draft locked/unlocked time

Policy draft locked/unlocked time in epoch milliseconds.
EpochMsTimestamp Readonly
locked Lock a policy draft

Indicates whether a draft should be locked. If the draft is locked by
an user, then no other user would be able to modify or publish this
draft. Once the user releases the lock, other users can then modify
or publish this draft.
boolean Default: "False"
marked_for_delete Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion

Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete
is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the
realized entities for that intent object gets deleted, the intent object
is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in
GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects.
boolean Readonly
Default: "False"
overridden Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object

Global intent objects cannot be modified by the user.
However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use
of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take
precedence over the globally defined values for the properties.
boolean Readonly
Default: "False"
parent_path Path of its parent

Path of its parent
string Readonly
path Absolute path of this object

Absolute path of this object
string Readonly
realization_id A unique identifier assigned by the system for realizing intent

This is a UUID generated by the system for realizing the entity object.
In most cases this should be same as 'unique_id' of the entity. However,
in some cases this can be different because of entities have migrated thier
unique identifier to NSX Policy intent objects later in the timeline and did
not use unique_id for realization. Realization id is helpful for users to
debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.
string Readonly
ref_draft_path Path of an existing draft for reference

When specified, a manual draft will be created w.r.t. the specified
draft. If not specified, manual draft will be created w.r.t. the
current published configuration.
For an auto draft, this will always be null.
string
relative_path Relative path of this object

Path relative from its parent
string Readonly
resource_type Must be set to the value PolicyDraft string
system_area Configuration changes tracked by the system

Configuration changes against the current configuration,
tracked by the system.
The value is stored in a hierarchical body format.
Infra Readonly
system_area_store_id ID of the data store where system_area has stored

In case of a large draft, wherein the size of system_area is so big
that it can not be stored into one draft object, the data is then gets
stored into multiple chunks in a draft data store.
This value represents the ID of that data store.
string Readonly
tags Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user array of Tag Maximum items: 30
unique_id A unique identifier assigned by the system

This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify
entites in a federated environment. For entities that are
stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used
on all the stretched sites.
string Readonly
user_area User defined configuration changes

These are user defined configuration changes, which are applicable only
in case of manual drafts. During the publish of a draft, system_area
changes gets applied first, and then these changes.
The value must be in a hierarchical body format.
Infra
user_area_store_id ID of the data store where user_area has stored

In case of a large draft, wherein the size of user_area is so big
that it can not be stored into one draft object, the data is then gets
stored into multiple chunks in a draft data store.
This value represents the ID of that data store.
string Readonly
