    Hi,

    I am trying to get all of the permissions that are assigned to a role using https://developer.genesys.cloud/api/rest/v2/authorization/#get-api-v2-authorization-roles--roleId-

    I have noticed that some of the results return an empty permission list as per the below as an example, however, there are permissions assigned to the role which I can see on the UI. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    "name": "Developer", "description": "Developer of Public API client applications", "defaultRoleId": "developer", "permissions": [],

    Thank you very much.

    Kind Regards, Chris Carr

    Hi Chris, are you not receiving the permission policies in the API response? I tested that resource and received the permission policies in the API response as expected.

    Thanks, Becky

    Hi Becky,

    Thank you for your response. It is possible that I am looking at the wrong key/object. I am looking at the "permissions" array.

    For example I have just received the permissions for the "admin"

    "name": "admin", "description": "Organization Administrator", "defaultRoleId": "admin", "permissions": [ "contentmanagementuser", "admin", "employee", "contentmanagementadmin" ], "permissionPolicies": [ { "domain": "presence", "entityName": "presenceDefinition", "actionSet": [ "add", "edit", "delete" ], "allowConditions": false }, { "domain": "analytics", "entityName": "dataExport", "actionSet": [ "*" ],

    Then for some roles the permission array is empty such as the below:

    "name": "Developer", "description": "Developer of Public API client applications", "defaultRoleId": "developer", "permissions": [],

    I do receive permission policies so am I supposed to be looking at "permissionPolicies" instead?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Kind Regards, Chris Carr

    Hi Chris. Most roles contain permissions in the domain:entity:action format, which are returned from the API as permission policies. Only a handful of legacy permissions do not carry that format and will be returned as permissions rather than permission policies. You should look at both in this API's response.

    Thank you!
