Access requirements

Required privileges

The Sever 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.



Note that administrators assigned a custom role must also have the administrative View all content privilege assigned to them to access the API directory as an administrator.

Tokens

This API requires token-based authentication. A token is automatically generated for administrators who sign in to the Server 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 generateToken operation in the Portal Directory API. For security reasons, all POST requests made to the Server Administrator API must include a token in the request body.

Description

The cancel operation cancels the asynchronous job being run by the geoprocessing service. The operation can only succeed if the current status of the job is SUBMITTED or EXECUTING. If the job currently carries a different status, an error of Unable to cancel job will be returned. The cancel operation does not remove any information about the job from the service. To cancel a job and remove information about the job from the service, use the Delete Job operation.
