View path-based ACLs

Path-based Access Control Levels (ACLs) enable you to define access control rules for scripted REST API endpoints using their resource path. This can be done independently of the ACL references on the operation record. Path-based ACLs enable more flexible security configurations, especially for read-only APIs and guest user experiences.

Before you begin

Role required: security_admin or admin

From the scripted REST API form

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > System Web Services > Scripted REST APIs.
2. Select the REST resource ACLs related list tab.
3. View all path-based ACLs defined for this resource path.
   The related list displays ACLs that match the resource path of the current API operation. These ACLs aren’t referenced in the security box but are applied based on the path.
