RolesAPI

Use this API to implement and customize role functionality. With this functionality in place, administrators can create roles and configure them for use throughout Identity Security Cloud. Identity Security Cloud can use established criteria to automatically assign the roles to qualified users. This enables users to get all the access they need quickly and securely and administrators to spend their time on other tasks.

Entitlements represent the most granular level of access in Identity Security Cloud. Access profiles represent the next level and often group entitlements. Roles represent the broadest level of access and often group access profiles.

For example, an Active Directory source in Identity Security Cloud can have multiple entitlements: the first, 'Employees,' may represent the access all employees have at the organization, and a second, 'Developers,' may represent the access all developers have at the organization.

An administrator can then create a broader set of access in the form of an access profile, 'AD Developers' grouping the 'Employees' entitlement with the 'Developers' entitlement.

An administrator can then create an even broader set of access in the form of a role grouping the 'AD Developers' access profile with another profile, 'GitHub Developers,' grouping entitlements for the GitHub source.

When users only need Active Directory employee access, they can request access to the 'Employees' entitlement.

When users need both Active Directory employee and developer access, they can request access to the 'AD Developers' access profile.

When users need both the 'AD Developers' access profile and the 'GitHub Developers' access profile, they can request access to the role grouping both.

Roles often represent positions within organizations. For example, an organization's accountant can access all the tools the organization's accountants need with the 'Accountant' role. If the accountant switches to engineering, a qualified member of the organization can quickly revoke the accountant's 'Accountant' access and grant access to the 'Engineer' role instead, granting access to all the tools the organization's engineers need.

In Identity Security Cloud, adminstrators can use the Access drop-down menu and select Roles to view, configure, and delete existing roles, as well as create new ones. Administrators can enable and disable the role, and they can also make the following configurations:

Manage Access: Manage the role's access by adding or removing access profiles.
Define Assignment: Define the criteria Identity Security Cloud uses to assign the role to identities. Use the first option, 'Standard Criteria,' to provide specific criteria for assignment like specific account attributes, entitlements, or identity attributes. Use the second, 'Identity List,' to specify the identities for assignment.
Access Requests: Configure roles to be requestable and establish an approval process for any requests that the role be granted or revoked. Do not configure a role to be requestable without establishing a secure access request approval process for that role first.

Refer to Working with Roles for more information about roles.

create-role

Create a Role This API creates a role.

You must have a token with API, ORG_ADMIN, ROLE_ADMIN, or ROLE_SUBADMIN authority to call this API.

In addition, a ROLE_SUBADMIN may not create a role including an access profile if that access profile is associated with a source the ROLE_SUBADMIN is not associated with themselves.

The maximum supported length for the description field is 2000 characters. Longer descriptions will be preserved for existing roles. However, any new roles as well as any updates to existing descriptions will be limited to 2000 characters.

Name	Type	Description
ctx	context.Context	context for authentication, logging, cancellation, deadlines, tracing, etc.
id	string	The role's id.
attributeKey	string	Technical name of the Attribute.
attributeValue	string	Technical name of the Attribute Value.

Name	Type	Description	Notes
forSubadmin	string	If provided, filters the returned list according to what is visible to the indicated ROLE_SUBADMIN Identity. The value of the parameter is either an Identity ID, or the special value me, which is shorthand for the calling Identity's ID. A 400 Bad Request error is returned if the for-subadmin parameter is specified for an Identity that is not a subadmin.
limit	int32	Note that for this API the maximum value for limit is 50. See V3 API Standard Collection Parameters for more information.	[default to 50]
offset	int32	Offset into the full result set. Usually specified with limit to paginate through the results. See V3 API Standard Collection Parameters for more information.	[default to 0]
count	bool	If true it will populate the X-Total-Count response header with the number of results that would be returned if limit and offset were ignored. Since requesting a total count can have a performance impact, it is recommended not to send count=true if that value will not be used. See V3 API Standard Collection Parameters for more information.	[default to false]
filters	string	Filter results using the standard syntax described in V3 API Standard Collection Parameters Filtering is supported for the following fields and operators: id: eq, in name: eq, sw created: gt, ge, le modified: lt, ge, le owner.id: eq, in requestable: eq dimensional: eq
sorters	string	Sort results using the standard syntax described in V3 API Standard Collection Parameters Sorting is supported for the following fields: name, created, modified
forSegmentIds	string	If present and not empty, additionally filters Roles to those which are assigned to the Segment(s) with the specified IDs. If segmentation is currently unavailable, specifying this parameter results in an error.
includeUnsegmented	bool	Whether or not the response list should contain unsegmented Roles. If for-segment-ids is absent or empty, specifying include-unsegmented as false results in an error.	[default to true]
