HTTP request

POST /identityGovernance/entitlementManagement/assignmentRequests

Request headers

Name Description
Authorization Bearer {token}. Required.
Content-Type application/json. Required.

Request body

In the request body, supply a JSON representation of accessPackageAssignmentRequest object.

For an administrator to request to create an assignment for a user, the value of the requestType property is adminAdd, and the assignment property contains the targetId of the user being assigned, the assignmentPolicyId property identifying the accessPackageAssignmentPolicy, and the accessPackageId property identifying the accessPackage.

For an administrator to request to update an assignment (for example to extend the assignment or update answers to questions), the value of the requestType property is adminUpdate, and the assignment property contains the id property identifying the accessPackageAssignment being updated.

For an administrator to request to remove an assignment, the value of the requestType property is adminRemove, and the assignment property contains the id property identifying the accessPackageAssignment being removed.

For a non-administrator user to request to create their own assignment for either a first assignment or renew assignment, the value of the requestType property is userAdd. The assignment property contains an object with the targetId with the id of the user. The assignmentPolicyId property identifies the accessPackageAssignmentPolicy. The accessPackageId property identifies the accessPackage. The user making the request must already exist in the directory.

For a non-administrator user to request to update their own assignments, the value of the requestType property is userUpdate. The assignment property contains the targetId with the id of the users. The assignmentPolicyId property identifies the accessPackageAssignmentPolicy. The accessPackageId property identifies the accessPackage. The user making the request must already exist in the directory.

Response

If successful, this method returns a 200-series response code and a new accessPackageAssignmentRequest object in the response body.

If this is an adminAdd request, then subsequently an accessPackageAssignment and, if needed, an accessPackageSubject are also created. You can locate those using the query parameters when listing accessPackageAssignments.

Examples

Example 1: Admin requests a direct assignment for a user already in the directory

Request

The following is an example of the request for a direct assignment, in which the administrator is requesting the creation of an assignment for the user. Because the accessPackageSubject might not yet exist, the value of the targetID is the object ID of the user being assigned, the value of the accessPackageId is the desired access package for that user, and the value of assignmentPolicyId is a direct assignment policy in that access package.

Example 2: Remove an assignment

To remove assignments, create a new accessPackageAssignmentRequest object with the following settings:

  • The value of the requestType property set to adminRemove.
  • In the assignment property, include an object with the identifier of the accessPackageAssignment object to delete.
