Project Resources

GET /projects

Returns a JSON object which contains:

a flag telling whether Structure is enabled for all projects, and
the list of project IDs for which Structure is enabled.

Please note that even when Structure is enabled for all projects, the list of selected project IDs is still stored in the app configuration and returned by this resource.

GET $baseUrl/rest/structure/2.0/configuration/projects

CODE

A successful request returns a JSON object with two fields, for example:

{
  "enabledForAllProjects": false,
  "pickedProjectIds": [10000, 10100]
}

CODE

PUT /projects

Updates the "enabled for all projects" flag and/or the list of projects for which Structure is enabled.

PUT $baseUrl/rest/structure/2.0/configuration/projects

CODE

Accepts a JSON object with the following fields, at least one of which must be present:

enabledForAllProjects – a boolean indicating whether Structure is enabled for all projects. If omitted, the setting is not changed.
pickedProjectIds – an array of numbers with the IDs of the projects for which Structure is enabled. If omitted, the list of projects is not changed.

Please note that when Structure is enabled for all projects, the list of projects has no effect, but it is still stored in the app configuration and can be updated.

Example 1. Enable Structure for only two projects with IDs 10000 and 10100:

PUT $baseUrl/rest/structure/2.0/configuration/projects


{
  "enabledForAllProjects": false,
  "pickedProjectIds": [10000, 10100]
}

JS

Example 2. Enable structure for all projects, don't change the list of projects:

PUT $baseUrl/rest/structure/2.0/configuration/projects


{ "enabledForAllProjects": true }

JS

A successful request returns an "empty" JSON object:

{ "empty": true }

JS

POST /projects/add

Adds one or more projects to the list of projects for which Structure is enabled.

POST $baseUrl/rest/structure/2.0/configuration/projects/add

PERL

Accepts a JSON array of numbers, all of which must be existing project IDs. At least one project ID must be supplied.

Please note that when Structure is enabled for all projects, the list of projects has no effect, but it is still stored in the app configuration and can be updated.

Example. Add project with IDs 10200 and 10300 to the list of projects:

POST $baseUrl/rest/structure/2.0/configuration/projects/add


[10200,10300]

JS

A successful request returns a JSON object with a single boolean flag indicating whether the list of projects was updated (i.e. it did not contain at least one of the passed project IDs before the call):

{ "updated": true }

JS

Top

POST /projects/remove

Removes one or more projects from the list of projects for which Structure is enabled.

POST $baseUrl/rest/structure/2.0/configuration/projects/remove

PERL

Accepts a JSON array of numbers. Non-existent project IDs are allowed. At least one project ID must be supplied.

Please note that when Structure is enabled for all projects, the list of projects has no effect, but it is still stored in the app configuration and can be updated.

Example. Remove project with ID 10200 from the list of projects:

POST $baseUrl/rest/structure/2.0/configuration/projects/remove


[10200]

JS

A successful request returns a JSON object with a single boolean flag indicating whether the list of projects was updated (i.e. it contained at least one of the passed project IDs before the call):

{ "updated": true }

Permission Resources

Permission Keys

The following global permissions are available:

Key	Permission
`use`	Use Structure. See Who Has Access to the Structure.
`createStructure`	Create new structures. See Changing Permission to Create New Structures.
`synchronization`	Configure synchronizers.
`automation`	Configure automation (generators and effectors). See Changing Permission to Access Automation.
`configureGenerators`	Configure generators. The "automation" permission is also required.
`configureEffectors`	Configure effectors. The "automation" permission is also required. See Changing Permissions to Configure and Run Effectors.
`executeEffectors`	Execute effectors.
`executeEffectorsOnQueries`	Execute effectors on query results.

Permission Configuration Objects

The configuration of each global permission is represented by a JSON object with two fields:

Field	Type	Description
`allowedForAnyone`	boolean	Indicates that a permission is granted to anyone.
`subjects`	array of objects	The list of permission subjects to which the permission is granted.

The flag and the list are stored independently. If a permission is granted to anyone, the list of permission subjects has no effect, but it is still stored in the Structure app configuration and can be updated.

Also, even if a global permission is granted to anyone, there can be other permission-specific restrictions. For example, to configure generators in a structure, a user needs the "Automate" access level to that structure.

Top

Permission Subjects

Global permissions can be granted to user groups and project roles. Each permission subject is represented by a JSON object with the following fields:

Field	Type	Description
`subject`	string	The type of the subject. Must be either `"group"` or `"projectRole"`. Required.
`groupId`	string	Group name. Required for user groups.
`roleId`	number	Project role ID. Required for project roles.
`projectId`	number	Project ID. Required for project roles. 0 means "any project".

Example 1. The jira-administrators group:

{
  "subject": "group",
  "groupId": "jira-administrators"
}

JS

Example 2. Role with ID 10002 in any project:

{
  "subject": "projectRole",
  "projectId": 0,
  "roleId": 10002
}
