PowerScale OneFS API Reference

Access control personas

Personas are a union of a user ID (UID), name, and type. Personas represent users and groups for access control list (ACL) operations.

The JSON format for personas is:

{
   "id":"<ID>",
   "name":"<name>",
   "type":"<type>"
}

Where

<ID>: <"USER" | "GROUP" | "SID" | "UID" | "GID"> : <the ID string>
<name>: <the normal user name in a string>
<type>: <user, group, or wellknown>

For PUT operations, you can specify either the ID or both the name and type. The ID value takes precedence when all fields are available.
