Permission APIs

The Permissions interface enables the management and querying of permissions within CyberArk Trust Protection Foundation™. Permissions grant principals (users and groups) privileges to objects within Trust Protection Foundation. In the Permissions interface, when a HTTP GET retrieves the permissions for a specific principal, both the effective and Implicit Permissions are returned.POST, PUT, or DELETE operations in this interface can successfully apply Effective Permissions parameters to principals in different identity providers. What is the difference between Credentials, Permissions, and Identity?

  • Credentials endpoints manage certificate and other activities. For more information, see Credentials APIs.
  • Identity endpoints manage CyberArk users. For more information, see Identity APIs.
  • Permissions endpoints grant principals (users and groups) privileges to objects within Trust Protection Foundation.
