request body.
You can also use the Orchestrator REST API to retrieve information about an object's permissions or delete
the existing permissions.
REST API Permissions
When you set permissions by using the Orchestrator REST API, you must use a set of characters to dene
the permissions.
You can dene the permissions for an element by including a sequence of characters in the <rights> tag of
the request body of a POST request .
The characters that you can use to set permissions through the Orchestrator REST API have specic
meanings.
