How to modify the permissions of a folder

MattAtSAS — Thu, 23 Jan 2025 16:05:45 GMT

Once a folder is created with folder API, how do you subsequently modify the folder permissions related to edit, move, delete, etc? Specifically, I want to limit what a user can do with a created folder, when they view said folder in Environment Manager.

Do you use the authorization API to do this?

Do you use the annotation API to do this?

Can you specify the permissions at the point when you are creating a folder with the folder API? (seems unlikely but thought I'd ask)

Overall, it seems like when you create a folder with the folder API, the resulting folder returns a response that includes links for GET, POST, DELETE, etc. It seems like those links are used by the Environment Manager when determining what actions can be taken on a specific folder?

Does this help?

Does using PATCH with

--header 'Authorization: ...  '

work?

Does that authorization header deal with authorization of the request itself and not the authorization of the folders?

Unfortunately, the patchFolder API does not include folder permissions as a parameter. The Auth...header parameter is for the REST call itself, not the for the Folder. I'm checking with our dev team to see if there is any other way to control the folder permissions via an API. I'll repost when I get more information.
