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.

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.

Syntax

GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/customDBRoles/roles

Request Path Parameters

Parameter	Required/Optional	Description
`GROUP-ID`	Required.	The unique identifier for the project.

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

This endpoint does not use HTTP request body parameters.

Response Elements

If you set the query element envelope to true, the response is wrapped by the content object.

The HTTP response returns an array of JSON documents, each representing a custom role. Each document in the array contains the following fields:

Name	Type	Description
`actions`	array	Each object in the `actions` array represents an individual privilege action granted by the role.
`actions.action`	string	Name of the privilege action. For a complete list of actions available in the Atlas Administration API, see Custom Role Actions.
`actions.resources`	array	Contains information on where the action is granted. Each object in the array either indicates a database and collection on which the action is granted, or indicates that the action is granted on the cluster resource.
`actions.resources.collection`	string	Collection on which the action is granted. If this value is an empty string, the action is granted on all collections within the database specified in the `actions.resources.db` field. Note This field is mutually exclusive with the `actions.resources.cluster` field.
`actions.resources.db`	string	Database on which the action is granted. Note This field is mutually exclusive with the `actions.resources.cluster` field.
`actions.resources.cluster`	boolean	Set to `true` to indicate that the action is granted on the cluster resource. Note This field is mutually exclusive with the `actions.resources.collection` and `actions.resources.db` fields.
`inheritedRoles`	array	Each object in the `inheritedRoles` array represents a key-value pair indicating the inherited role and the database on which the role is granted.
`inheritedRoles.db`	string	Database on which the inherited role is granted.
`inheritedRoles.role`	string	Name of the inherited role. This can either be another custom role or a built-in role.
`roleName`	string	Name of the custom role.
