Limiting access to a tenant for higher-level administrators

Note

This procedure is not applicable to unit tenants.

1. Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.

   The following variables should be available now:

   >>> base_url  # the base URL of the API
   'https://eu2-cloud.acronis.com/api/2'
   >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
   {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
   >>> tenant_id  # the UUID of the tenant to which the token provides access
   'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
   

2. Assign either of the following values to the tenant_id variable – the UUID of a sub-tenant created via the API or a sub-tenant found by its name:

   >>> tenant_id = created_tenant_id
   >>> tenant_id
   '0fcd4a69-8a40-4de8-b711-d9c83dc000f7'
   

3. Obtain the number of the latest tenant revision. You will have to specify this number in a subsequent request to the tenant. This is required to manage concurrent tenant modifications.

   1. Fetch the tenant information as described in steps 3-5 of “Fetching information about an individual tenant”. As the result, you should have a tenant variable with the tenant object.

   2. Define a variable named tenant_version, and then assign the value of the version key from the tenant object to this variable:

      >>> tenant_version = tenant['version']
      >>> tenant_version
      3
      

4. Define a variable named tenant_update, and then assign the following object to this variable:

   >>> tenant_update = {
   ...     'ancestral_access': False,
   ...     'version': tenant_version,  # this key is required
   ... }
   

5. Convert the tenant_update object to a JSON text:

   >>> tenant_update = json.dumps(tenant_update, indent=4)
   >>> print(tenant_update)
   {
       "ancestral_access": false,
       "version": 3
   }
   

6. Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the /tenants/{tenant_id} endpoint:

   >>> response = requests.put(
   ...     f'{base_url}/tenants/{tenant_id}',
   ...     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth},
   ...     data=tenant_update,
   ... )
   

7. Check the status code of the response:

   >>> response.status_code
   200
   

   Status code 200 means that the platform has limited access to the tenant for higher-level administrators. These administrators can only modify the tenant properties. They do not have access to the user accounts and child tenants at all.

   A different status code means that an error has occurred. For the details, refer to “Status and error codes”.
