Data Security
Reltio platform supports role-based data security.
Security rules can be applied for a subset of entities defined by a specific condition. Such conditions are represented by filters, similar to the filters in Entity Search.
Get Entity Permissions
Requests which return entities support option showAccess
.
If this option is enabled, the entities are returned along with
access level specifications for the entities and reference objects
(both reference entities and reference relations).

Configuration API
Data security is configured together with metadata security. Both are similar and use the same endpoints. A data security configuration record has an additional field filter
. The specified privileges are applied for all entities that are accepted by a filter.
Data and Metadata Security Records
[
{
"uri": "configuration/entityTypes/HCP",
"permissions": [
{
"role": "API_USER1",
"access": ["READ"]
},
{
"role": "API_USER2",
"filter": "startsWith(attributes.FirstName, 'M')",
"access": ["READ", "CREATE", "UPDATE"]
}
]
},

Get Roles by Object URIs
This request is used to process specified URIs and return all available permissions for users, who are assigned the permission for an object. This is applicable for entities and Data Change Requests.
changeRequest
, only roles for READ
and ACCEPT_CHANGE_REQUEST
access are returned.Request
POST {env_uri}/reltio/permissions/{tenant}/_getAccessRoles
Contains a list of URIs to get information about allowed operations and accepted users.
Parameter | Name | Required | Details |
---|---|---|---|
Headers | Authorization | Yes | Information about authentication access token in format
Bearer <accessToken> (see details in Authentication API). |
Content-Type | Yes | Must be Content-Type: application/json . | |
Query | accessTypes | No | List of access types for which we want to obtain roles. Default: all access types. |
Body | Yes | List of valid URIs. The operation can process only entities and data change requests. For example, entities/029OP2m or changeRequests/00010rp. |
Response
For each URI from the input list, the response contains information about all privileges with all roles. The information is organized as a list of triplets with the following parts:
- Object URI: can be a position in the configuration tree or the URI of a particular object in the system (entity, relation, attribute value).
- Access: access type required for this object (directly requested or implied). Possible
values:
CREATE
,READ
,UPDATE
,DELETE
,MERGE
,UNMERGE
,INITIATE_CHANGE_REQUEST
,ACCEPT_CHANGE_REQUEST
. - Roles: set of roles that are configured to have such access type to this object in this tenant.
There is an additional field in each list record: allPermitted
.
When the accessRoles
section is empty, the value of the allPermitted
field
must be analyzed: if it is true
, then any role has all permissions, otherwise there are
no roles which have any permission on that particular object.
ACCEPT_CHANGE_REQUEST
are granted for entity types. Hence, the result set generated for each DCR contains all its change items represented by the URIs of the entity or
the attribute specified in each change item. Every such item contains the
changeRequestUri
field to be able to associate objects from the
request with objects from the response. ObjectUri
may contain the
URI of the DCR itself only if all the roles have full access to its content (for
example, when security is off). Also, if access type ACCEPT_CHANGE_REQUEST
is requested for a DCR, it is automatically converted to ACCEPT_CHANGE_REQUEST
, READ
, CREATE
, UPDATE
, DELETE
, and MERGE
.Getting Roles for DCR
This example illustrates getting roles for a data change request from a tenant with no metadata security.
Request
POST {env_uri}/reltio/permissions/{tenant}/_getAccessRoles?accessTypes=ACCEPT_CHANGE_REQUEST
Headers: Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>, Content-Type: application/json
Body:
[
"changeRequests/0bfdIEy"
]
Response
[
{
"objectUri": "changeRequests/0bfdIEy",
"changeRequestUri": "changeRequests/0bfdIEy",
"allPermitted": true
}
]
Getting Roles for Entity
This example illustrates getting roles for an entity when there are roles only for specific permissions.
Request
POST {env_uri}/reltio/permissions/{tenant}/_getAccessRoles?accessTypes=READ,MERGE
Headers: Authorization: Bearer <Access-Token>, Content-Type: application/json
Body:
[
"entities/00005KL"
]
Response
[
{
"objectUri": "entities/00005KL",
"allPermitted": false,
"accessRoles": [
{
"access": "READ",
"roles": [
"API_USER2",
"API_USER1"
]
},
{
"access": "MERGE",
"roles": [
"API_USER2",
"API_USER1"
]
}
]
}
]
Getting Roles for DCR with Change Items for Entity and Attributes
CREATE_ENTITY
and two of type INSERT_ATTRIBUTE
. The first change item CREATE_ENTITY
is about the first entity with ID entities/0Bymuem and the other two change items are about an already existing entity with ID entities/00006Mq. _getAccessRoles
returns four sections (triplets): one for the CREATE_ENTITY
change item and three for the rest two ones. Among those three
sections we can find a section with required permissions for entities/00006Mq
itself because attributes manipulations require some permissions on the root object
besides attributes.applyDcrWithoutPermissions
flag set to true in the configuration, you don't need UPDATE, CREATE, DELETE, or MERGE privileges on the objects to accept a change request, only the READ privilege. For more information, see topic DCR SecurityRequest
