ACL

Location /api/apps/{appID}/users/me/acl

This is an Access Control List for the user scope.

An ACL entry defines a permission (verb) granted or revoked for a subject over a resource. The permission is rejected by default, so you need to add ACL entries for granting accesses to Kii Cloud and your resources.

An ACL entry is composed of a resource, a subject, and a verb.

Subject: A subject can be either a user, a thing, or a group. Also, the following two "Special Users" can be set as a subject:

  • ANONYMOUS_USER: Represent all users who are accessing anonymously. This user cannot be used for topics.
  • ANY_AUTHENTICATED_USER: Represent any users who are authenticated.

Verb: These are the available verbs for an user scope:

  • CREATE_NEW_BUCKET: Create a new bucket in the user scope.
  • CREATE_NEW_TOPIC: Create a new topic in the user scope.
