Feature Request: Allow all REST API endpoints with GET for Backup Viewer

Post by DE&C »

Feature Request
  • Allow all REST API endpoints with GET (data retrieval only) to be accessible "Read Only User"
->(Backup Viewer role).

Reasoning:
  • Ensures that monitoring and reporting tools can fetch necessary information without requiring elevated permissions.

    Increases security by limiting access to non-destructive operations.

    Simplifies integration for read-only use cases.
Example
  • /api/v1/license

Hi Doron,

The request for a "Read Only" API viewer makes sense.
However, I'm not sure if this should be part of the "Backup Viewer" role, as the Backup Viewer is intended to only see backups.

It might be possible to add such a role when our new v13 feature "Custom Role (RBAC)" adds support for REST API.
I'll discuss this request further with our REST API team.

As a workaround, you may check out RestAPI of Service Provider Console. VSPC already allows Read Only API access.

Best,
Fabian
