This services sets or revokes privileges for a specified user.
Argument | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
auth (optional) | Auth | The Auth type supplies credentials and optionally, a host name for licensing. The userId and password can be specified with HTTP BASIC or WS-SECURITY instead. |
user (optional) | UserIdentifier | Indicates the user for which privileges should be set or revoked. If this parameter is not provided, the privilege is set against the user account that sends the call. |
privilege | PrivilegeInfo | Indicates the name and assignment information for a privilege. |
One or more PrivilegeHolder responses are returned. The privileges are returned in the context of either the calling user or the specified user. The privilege name, type, access information, and objectId (if the privilege applies only to a particular object like a project or table) are returned. For more information, see PrivilegeHolder.
This call enables you to set one or more privileges for a user. Use the GetPrivilegeTypes and GetTypePrivileges calls to get available privilege types and privilege names.
If a privilege is specified, but no access information is sent, the privilege is automatically set to REVOKED. To successfully grant or revoke a privilege, you must supply the privilege's corresponding object unless specified otherwise.
The following table lists the available user privilege types and their corresponding objects. (Send any of the following privilege types using GetTypePrivileges to return the type's associated privileges).
