Get role mappings API
editGet role mappings API
editRetrieves role mappings.
Description
editRole mappings define which roles are assigned to each user. For more information, see Mapping users and groups to roles.
Path Parameters
edit-
name
- (string) The distinct name that identifies the role mapping. The name is used solely as an identifier to facilitate interaction via the API; it does not affect the behavior of the mapping in any way. You can specify multiple mapping names as a comma-separated list. If you do not specify this parameter, the API returns information about all role mappings.
Results
editA successful call retrieves an object, where the keys are the names of the request mappings, and the values are the JSON representation of those mappings. For more information, see Role mapping resources.
If there is no mapping with the requested name, the
response will have status code 404
.
Authorization
editTo use this API, you must have at least the manage_security
cluster privilege.
Examples
editThe following example retrieves information about the mapping1
role mapping:
GET /_security/role_mapping/mapping1
{ "mapping1": { "enabled": true, "roles": [ "user" ], "rules": { "field": { "username": "*" } }, "metadata": {} } }
