/permissions

List Permissions

URL: /resources/{resource_id}/permissions.json

Method: GET

Protocol: HTTP, HTTPS

Parameters:

• resource_id – resource ID of the map/layer/datasource

Returns one of:

• 200 (OK) + collection of permissions
• 404 (Not Found)

This URL path uses a resource_id parameter.
All resources that can be shared (maps, layers, datasources etc.) have their own unique resource ID.
Resource ID for e.g. a map can be checked using /maps/{map_id}
Resource ID of a map is not to be confused with map ID.

Example of listing permissions for a map with resource id ‘618’:

curl -X POST https://api.giscloud.com/1/resources/618/permissions.json

Data returned:

{
    "type": "permissions",
    "total": 0,
    "page": 1,
    "data": [
        {
            "permissions": [
                {
                    "type": "READ",
                    "share_id": "657"
                }
            ],
            "username": "anonymous"
        },
        {
            "permissions": [
                {
                    "type": "OWNER",
                    "share_id": "655"
                }
            ],
            "username": "gc_user"
        }
    ]
}

Please note “share_id” value under “permissions”, this ID is used in delete permission requests.
