    Roles API

    Roles are groups of permissions that allow access to the UI and the REST APIs. See Roles for details.

    Security Realms can be configured to use LDAP group membership to assign Roles to users. See the LDAP configuration instructions for details.

    Create, Update or Delete Roles

    The endpoint for this request can take the role ID as a request parameter:

    /api/roles/<id>

    The role ID string is generated by Fusion when the role is created.

    A GET request returns the configured roles for a specific ID. If the ID is omitted from the path, all roles will be returned.

    A POST request creates a new role. When creating a new role, the request path is /api/roles. If the role is created, the request returns the role ID.

    In order to see this object within the Fusion UI, it must be associated with an app. To do this, create the object using the /apps endpoint.

    A PUT request updates an existing role.

    A DELETE request will remove the role configuration.
