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.

This endpoint does not support concurrent POST requests. Multiple POST requests must be submitted synchronously.

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.

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

POST /groups/{GROUP-ID}/accessList
Parameter
Type
Necessity
Description
GROUP-ID
string
Required
Unique identifier for the project to which you want to add one or more Access List entries.

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

Name
Type
Necessity
Description
Default
pageNum
integer
Optional
Page number, starting with one, that Atlas returns of the total number of objects.
1
itemsPerPage
integer
Optional
Number of items that Atlas returns per page, up to a maximum of 500.
100
includeCount
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the totalCount parameter in the response body.
true
pretty
boolean
Optional
Flag that indicates whether Atlas returns the JSON response in the prettyprint format.
false
envelope
boolean
Optional

Flag that indicates whether Atlas wraps the response in an envelope.

Some API clients cannot access the HTTP response headers or status code. To remediate this, set envelope=true in the query.

Endpoints that return a list of results use the results object as an envelope. Atlas adds the status parameter to the response body.

false

Specify an array of documents, where each document represents one Access List entry you want to add to the project. You must specify an array even if you add a single Access List entry to the project.

Important
How Access List Updates Work

The Access List might change depending upon what you submit in the POST request. This request attempts to find an existing Access List entry that has the same awsSecurityGroup, ipAddress, or cidrBlock value. If the Access List entry:

Access List Entry Match
comment Value
Access List Update
Yes
Unchanged
Makes no change.
No
Added
Appends request as new Access List entry.
Yes
Changed
Updates comment value in Access List entry with matching awsSecurityGroup, ipAddress, or cidrBlock value.
Parameter
Type
Necessity
Description
awsSecurityGroup
string
Conditional

Unique identifier of the AWS security group to add to the access list.

Your access list entry can include only one awsSecurityGroup, one cidrBlock, or one ipAddress.

Note

You must configure VPC peering for your project before you can add an AWS security group to an access list.

cidrBlock
string
Conditional

Range of IP addresses in CIDR notation to be added to the access list.

Your access list entry can include only one awsSecurityGroup, one cidrBlock, or one ipAddress.

comment
string
Optional
Comment associated with the access list entry.
deleteAfterDate
date
Optional

Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC after which Atlas removes the entry from the access list. The specified date must be in the future and within one week of the time you make the API request.

Important

You cannot set AWS security groups as temporary access list entries.

Note

You may include an ISO 8601 time zone designator to ensure that the expiration date occurs with respect to the local time in the specified time zone.

ipAddress
string
Conditional

Single IP address to be added to the access list. Mutually exclusive with awsSecurityGroup and cidrBlock.

Your access list entry can include only one awsSecurityGroup, one cidrBlock, or one ipAddress.

The response JSON document includes an array of result objects, an array of link objects and a count of the total number of result objects retrieved.

Name
Type
Description
results
array of objects
One object for each item detailed in the results Embedded Document section.
links
array of objects

One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification

totalCount
integer
Count of the total number of items in the result set. It may be greater than the number of objects in the results array if the entire result set is paginated.

Each element in the result array is one Access List entry associated to the project IP Access List.

Name
Type
Description
awsSecurityGroup
string
Unique identifier of AWS security group in this access list entry.
cidrBlock
string
Range of IP addresses in CIDR notation in this access list entry.
comment
string
Comment associated with this access list entry.
deleteAfterDate
date
Timestamp in ISO 8601 date and time format in UTC after which Atlas deletes the temporary access list entry. Atlas returns this field if you specified an expiration date when creating this access list entry.
groupId
string
Unique identifier of the project to which this access list entry applies.
ipAddress
string
Entry using an IP address in this access list entry.
links
object array

One or more links to sub-resources and/or related resources. The relations between URLs are explained in the Web Linking Specification
