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.

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.

Workflow

After a successful request to this API endpoint, you can add the atlasAWSAccountArn and atlasAssumedRoleExternalId values to the trust policy in your AWS console to create an IAM Assumed Role ARN. See Set Up Unified AWS Access for the complete procedure.

Resource

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

POST /groups/{GROUP-ID}/cloudProviderAccess

Request Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`GROUP-ID`	string	The unique identifier for the project whose cloud provider roles you want to retrieve.

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

Request Body Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`providerName`	string	The cloud provider for which to create a new role. Currently only `AWS` is supported.

Response

The HTTP document contains the following elements:

Name	Type	Description
`atlasAWSAccountArn`	string	ARN associated with the Atlas AWS account used to assume IAM roles in your AWS account.
`atlasAssumedRoleExternalId`	string	Unique external ID Atlas uses when assuming the IAM role in your AWS account.
`authorizedDate`	date	Date on which this role was authorized.
`createdDate`	date	Date on which this role was created.
`featureUsages`	array	Atlas features this AWS IAM role is linked to.
`iamAssumedRoleArn`	string	ARN of the IAM Role that Atlas assumes when accessing resources in your AWS account.
`providerName`	string	Name of the cloud provider. Currently limited to `AWS`.
`roleId`	string	Unique ID of this role.

Example Request

curl --user "{PUBLIC-KEY}:{PRIVATE-KEY}" -X POST --digest \
     --header "Accept: application/json" \
     --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
     "https://cloud.mongodb.com/api/atlas/v1.0/groups/{GROUP-ID}/cloudProviderAccess?pretty=true" \
     --data '{ "providerName": "AWS" }'

Example Response

  "atlasAWSAccountArn" : "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:root",
  "atlasAssumedRoleExternalId" : "3192be49-6e76-4b7d-a7b8-b486a8fc4483",
