List ACL by Folder

Overview

This operation returns permissions for all users and roles for all named resources in the specified folders and their subfolders. The permissions for the subfolders are also returned in the response.

For each resource, the response contains the users and roles that have any permission on the resource and for each user or role, it contains the specific permissions applied.

  • For named tables, the permissions can be EXECUTE, CREATE, MODIFY, or DELETE
  • For repository folders, permissions can be READ or WRITE
  • For other names resources permissions can be EXECUTE

ACL Authorization Flow

The user making this request will only be able to list permissions on resources within the repository folders (or subfolders) on which they have WRITE permissions.
