How To
Summary
The Service ID can invoke APIs with a user context parameter, when appropriate.
The response is limited to only those elements visible to that user.
Steps
To provide the user context, pass an X-On-Behalf-Of header in your request with the user name as the value.
The response includes only the resources that the specified user has access to or is permitted to see in the account.
For example, if the /bwl/blueprints API is called with a user context, only the blueprints that are visible to the specified user are shown. Or, if the /bwl/blueprints/{blueprint-id} API is called with a user context to get the details of a specific blueprint and the blueprint is not accessible to the specified user, the command produces a "403" response.
Not all APIs are enabled for user context. If you try to pass a user context to an API that is not enabled for it, the command produces a "400" response.
