Retrieve Roles API for generating token

jamesyoung — Wed, 11 Oct 2017 18:34:13 GMT

When generating a token you now can pass in the Role(s) to use for RLS. How can you retrieve the Roles programmatically? Is that possible?

Here is how you generate a token using a role:

var generateTokenRequestParameters = new GenerateTokenRequest("View", null, identities: new List<EffectiveIdentity>
{ new EffectiveIdentity(username: "username", roles: new List<string> { "roleA", "roleB" }, datasets: new List<string> { "datasetId" }) });
var tokenResponse = await client.Reports.GenerateTokenInGroupAsync("groupId", "reportId", generateTokenRequestParameters);

AFAIK, it is not possible, there's no correlated REST API that can get RLS roles. You can check this idea REST API for managing roles of datasets and vote it up.
