The Atlas Administration API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request. To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Get Started with the Atlas Administration API.

https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

Note

This API endpoint is one step in a procedure to create unified AWS access for Atlas services. For the complete procedure, see Set Up Unified AWS Access.

Resource

PATCH api/atlas/v1.0/groups/{GROUP-ID}/cloudProviderAccess/{ROLE-ID}

Request Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`GROUP-ID`	string	Unique identifier for the project whose cloud provider roles you want to retrieve.
`ROLE-ID`	string	Unique ID of the role to authorize.

Request Query Parameters

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas Administration API resources. All of these are optional.

Name

Type

Necessity

Description

Default

pretty

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating whether the response body should be in a prettyprint format.

false

envelope

boolean

Optional

Flag indicating if Atlas should wrap the response in a JSON envelope.

This option may be needed for some API clients. These clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

For endpoints that return one result, the response body includes:


status	HTTP response code
envelope	Expected response body

false
