Access requirements
Required privileges
The Portal Administrator API requires privilege-based access. An administrator must be assigned a specific user privilege, or role, to access any given endpoint. Listed below are the user privileges or roles an administrator can be assigned that provides access to this endpoint. If multiple privileges are listed, only one needs to be assigned to gain access.
Tokens
This API requires token-based authentication. A token is automatically generated for administrators who sign in to the Portal Administrator API directory's HTML interface. Tokens generated in this way are stored for the entirety of the session.
Those accessing the API directory outside of the HTML interface will need to acquire a session token from the generate operation in the Portal Directory API. For security reasons, all POST requests made to the Portal Administrator API must include a token in the request body.
Description
The database resource represents the database management system (DBMS) that contains all of the portal's configuration and relationship rules. This resource also returns the name and version of the database server currently running in the portal.
You can use the Update Database Account operation to edit the administrative database account that is used by components within the portal to communicate with the database server.
