BusinessApplicationsApi
A Business Application groups machine identities (for example AI agents or applications) under a common owner and sanctioned status. Business Applications can be defined out-of-the-box, discovered from a source, or created by an administrator. Signatures on a Business Application drive automatic correlation of machine identities to it; sanctioned status is independent metadata that machine identities inherit once linked. All URIs are relative to https://sailpoint.api.identitynow.com

get-business-application-v1
Get Business Application
Returns a single Business Application by ID for the requesting tenant. Requires the idn:business-application:read right and the Machine Identity Security product to be enabled.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | Business Application ID. | [default to undefined] |
Return type
BusinessApplication

list-business-applications-v1
List Business Applications
Returns the list of Business Applications defined for the requesting tenant. Requires the idn:business-application:read right and the Machine Identity Security product to be enabled for the tenant.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 name: eq, co vendor: eq, co signatures.type: eq, co signatures.name: eq, co source.name: eq, co sanctionedStatus: eq | [optional] [default to undefined] |
| sorters | string | Sort results using the standard syntax described in V3 API Standard Collection Parameters Sorting is supported for the following fields: id, name, sanctionedStatus | [optional] [default to undefined] |
| count | boolean | 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. | [optional] [default to false] |
| limit | number | Max number of results to return. See V3 API Standard Collection Parameters for more information. | [optional] [default to 250] |
| offset | number | Offset into the full result set. Usually specified with limit to paginate through the results. See V3 API Standard Collection Parameters for more information. | [optional] [default to 0] |
