Admin API

Cloudera Data Visualization provides a URL-based API, the Admin API, which enables access to Cloudera Data Visualization objects like users, groups, roles, datasets, segments, filter associations, connections, and visuals. This allows you to automate deployment operations, such as creating and managing roles, without logging into the Cloudera Data Visualization server console for access to command-line utilities.

Permissions

When using the Admin API , Cloudera Data Visualization enforces the same security policies as when using the graphical user interface. For example, you must have Manage roles and users system-level permission to create new users or update existing users.

Admin API is CRUD

The Admin API supports Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations for basic object access. It does not support complex actions, such as adding tables to datasets.
