Enabling a service for a sub-tenant

To enable a service for a sub-tenant

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
   '<the data center URL>/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 UUID of the parent tenant of this sub-tenant. You will need this UUID to list services that can be enabled for child tenants.

   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 parent_tenant_id, and then assign the value of the parent_id key from the tenant object to this variable:

      >>> parent_tenant_id = tenant['parent_id']
      >>> parent_tenant_id
      'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
      

4. Obtain the list of services enabled for the tenant, which UUID is specified in the parent_tenant_id variable, as described in steps 3-6 of Fetching information about services enabled for a tenant. As the result, you should have a tenant_applications variable with the list of service objects.

5. In this list, find the service that you want to enable by its internal name (the value of a service object’s type key) and store its UUID (the value of a service object’s id key) in a variable named application_id:

   >>> application_id = None
   >>> for application in tenant_applications:
   ...     if application['type'] == 'backup':
   ...         application_id = application['id']
   ...         break
   ... else:
   ...     print('Cannot enable the backup service for this tenant.')
   ...
   >>> application_id
   '6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb0dff12eb'
   

6. Send a POST request to the /applications/{application_id}/bindings/tenants/{tenant_id} endpoint:

   >>> response = requests.post(
   ...     f'{base_url}/applications/{application_id}/bindings/tenants/{tenant_id}',
   ...     headers=auth,
   ... )
   

7. Check the status code of the response:

   >>> response.status_code
   204
   

   Status code 204 means that the platform has enabled the service for the tenant.

   Enabling a service does not enable its offering item(s), if any. The offering item(s) must be enabled separately.

   Note

   A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.
