Access List Replaces Whitelist

This resource replaces the whitelist resource. Atlas removed whitelists in July 2021. Update your applications to use this new resource.

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.

Important

The /groups/{GROUP-ID}/accessList endpoint manages the database IP access list. This endpoint is distinct from the orgs/{ORG-ID}/apiKeys/{API-KEY-ID}/accesslist endpoint, which manages the access list for Atlas organizations.

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.

DELETE /groups/{GROUP-ID}/accessList/{ACCESS-LIST-ENTRY}

Request Path Parameters

Parameter	Type	Necessity	Description
GROUP-ID	string	Required	Unique identifier for the project for which you want to delete an access list entry.
ACCESS-LIST-ENTRY	string	Required	Can be either the: AWS security group ID, IP address, or CIDR address of the access list entry to delete. If the entry includes a subnet mask, such as `192.0.2.0/24`, use the URL-encoded value `%2F` for the forward slash `/`. Important When you remove an entry from the IP access list, existing connections from the removed address(es) may remain open for a variable amount of time. How much time passes before Atlas closes the connection depends on several factors, including: how the connection was established how the application or driver using the address behaves which protocol (like TCP or UDP) the connection uses

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
