Assign Security_admin via Scripted rest API

[Vijay Baokar]

Hi Folks,

I am working on automate UAM(user access management) through scripted rest API, which is working as expected but there is a scenario where we need to assign user to a group which has security_admin role.

Currently user is getting added to that group but security_admin role is not getting assigned. 

We have integration user who has security_admin role. I know to grant security_admin role we need to elevate it but how can we handle the session for integration user so that newly created user can be assigned to the group and its role "security_admin " as well.

Hi @Vijay Baokar 

Any reason why you want to assign security_admin role for newly created user, what you are trying to accompolish here.

[Vijay Baokar]

Hi @PrashantLearnIT we have a IT security group which everyone should not have access to. So whenever any security team need access to that group then only we need to assign them security_admin role post approval.

Note: security_admin is not for all users but only for Security team.

Not a valid use-case to give security_admin via scripted REST API

You can't elevate user session to security_admin in scripted REST API

@Vijay Baokar 

you can handle this via manual intervention and don't automate this as you can't achieve this via automation.
