Updating resources with The Python SDK

You can use the SDK to update resources.

For example, you can run a script to update a work group, also known as a governance group.

This example 'update WorkGroup' script updates the description for the work group created in Create a Resource. Copy it into your Python project to try it out:

from sailpoint import ApiClient, GovernanceGroupsApi
from sailpoint.governance_groups.models.jsonpatchoperation import Jsonpatchoperation
from sailpoint.governance_groups.models.jsonpatchoperation_value import JsonpatchoperationValue
from sailpoint.configuration import Configuration

configuration = Configuration()

api_client = ApiClient(configuration)

workgroups_api_instance = GovernanceGroupsApi(api_client)

workgroup = workgroups_api_instance.list_workgroups_v1(filters='name eq "DB Access Governance Group"')[0]

json_patch_operation = [Jsonpatchoperation(op='replace', path='/description', value=JsonpatchoperationValue('This is an updated description for the workgroup.'))]

try:
    workgroupResponse = workgroups_api_instance.patch_workgroup_v1(workgroup.id, jsonpatchoperation=json_patch_operation)
    print("The response of GovernanceGroupsApi->patch_workgroup_v1:\n")
    print(workgroupResponse)
except Exception as e:
    print("Exception when calling GovernanceGroupsApi->patch_workgroup_v1: %s\n" % e)

Run this command to run the code:

python sdk.py

The example uses a PATCH replace operation to update the value in the /description path to "This is an updated description for the workgroup."

The SDK will return the updated work group with its new description:

The response of GovernanceGroupsApi->patch_workgroup_v1:

id='d287a1e2-81fc-474e-bc0c-155bd8ab0899' 
name='DB Access Governance Group' 
description='This is an updated description for the workgroup.'
