[ovirt-users] Re: Is there a way to tell whether a permission set for a VM is inherited using REST API?

Actually this is bug, as I see we fill the <vm > tag for all permissions, even for inherited permissions, but it should be set only for direct permissions, that's how you would distinguish it. Same as you say you can do it via following the specific permission id. So I am afraid there is no effective way, unfortunatelly. If you don't have many users, you can list users permissions and find if it has permission for your VM, which would mean it has direct permission on a VM.

But I don't want the inherited permissions to be included into the backup, I only need the attributes specific to the vm. It looks like there is no difference between the inherited and the vm-specific permissions in the output from /ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vm-id>/permissions service. > > What is the best way to distinguish the specific permissions from the inherited ones? It seems I can follow the link to the particular permission and see whether the vm attribute is set on it and it points to the VM I need, but that would require numerous REST requests to be done. Is there a more elegant way? Maybe I can somehow filter the output of /ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vm-id>/permissions to only include the required info? > > Thanks in advance. > > Best regards, > Anton. > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ > oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/AVHAC4SSJWV... >
