h1. Get all authorizations in the system

h2. Syntax
Authorizations in the system can be accessed using http GET method through below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations{code}
The response is of mime type _application/xml_ and the content is XML representation of all authorizations in the system.

h2. Security
You will need to use http BASIC authentication to login as authorized QuickBuild user if the anonymous does not have adminstrative right.

h2. Demo
Below [curl|http://curl.haxx.se/] command demonstrates how to get all authorizations:
{code}curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations{code}

h1. Access authorization by id

h2. Syntax
Authorization can be accessed by id using http GET method through below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations/<authorization id>{code}
The response is of mime type _application/xml_ and the content is XML representation of the authorization.

h2. Security
You will need to use http BASIC authentication to login as authorized QuickBuild user if the anonymous does not have adminstrative right.

h2. Demo
Below [curl|http://curl.haxx.se/] command demonstrates how to get authorization of id _1_:
{code}curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations/1{code}

h1. Access authorizations of a particular group

h2. Syntax
Authorizations of particular group can be accessed using http GET method through below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations?group_id=<group id>{code}
The response is of mime type _application/xml_ and the content is XML representation of all authorizations of specified group.

h2. Security
You will need to use http BASIC authentication to login as authorized QuickBuild user if the anonymous does not have adminstrative right.

h2. Demo
Below [curl|http://curl.haxx.se/] command demonstrates how to get authorizations of group with id _2_:
{code}curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations?group_id=2{code}

h1. Access authorizations of a particular configuration

h2. Syntax
Authorizations of particular configuration can be accessed using http GET method through below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations?configuration_id=<configuration id>{code}
The response is of mime type _application/xml_ and the content is XML representation of all authorizations of specified configuration.

h2. Security
You will need to use http BASIC authentication to login as authorized QuickBuild user if the anonymous does not have adminstrative right.

h2. Demo
Below [curl|http://curl.haxx.se/] command demonstrates how to get authorizations of configuration with id _1_:
{code}curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations?configuration_id=1{code}

h1. Update authorization

h2. Syntax
Authorization can be updated by posting xml representation of the authorization to below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations{code}
Normally you do not need to create the XML from scratch: you may retrieve XML representation of the authorization using http GET method, modify certain parts of the XML and post back to above url.
The response is of mime type _text/plain_ and the content is string representation of the authorization id being updated.

h2. Security
You will need to use http BASIC authentication to login as administrator if the anonymous does not have administrative right.

h2. Demo
We will use [curl|http://curl.haxx.se/] to demonstrate how to change authorization of group _developer_ from configuration _root/project1_ to _root/project2_:
# Assume id of group _developer_ is _1_, id of configuration _root/project1_ is _5_, and id of configurtion _root/project2_ is _6_. Ids of these entities can be retrieved with [id service|retrieve object identifier].
# Run below command to get authorizations of group _developer_:
{code}curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations?group_id=1{code}
# Analyze response of above command to find out the authorization associated with configuration id _5_. Save xml snippet of found authorization to a temp file, say _tempfile.xml_.
# Modify _tempfile.xml_ and change the _configuration_ element to take value _6_.
# Post content of _tempfile.xml_ back to QuickBuild using below command:
{code}curl -X POST -u admin:admin -d@tempfile.xml http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations{code}

h1. Create authorization

h2. Syntax
Authorization can be created by posting XML representation of the authorization to below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations{code}
Please note that the posted XML should NOT contain the id element; otherwise, QuickBuild will treat the post as an updating to the authorization with that id.
Normally you do not need to create the XML from scratch: you may retrieve XML representation of a templating authorization using http GET method, remove the _id_ element, modify certain parts and post back to above url.
The response is of mime type _text/plain_ and the content is string representation of the newly created authorization id.

h2. Security
You will need to use http BASIC authentication to login as administrator if the anonymous does not have administrative right.

h2. Demo
We will use [curl|http://curl.haxx.se/] to demonstrate how to authorize group _tester_ (assume the id is _3_) with _RUN_BUILD_ and _STOP_BUILD_ permission in configuration _root/test_ (assume the id is _2_).
# Save below content into file _tempfile.xml_:
{code}
<com.pmease.quickbuild.model.Authorization>
<group>3</group>
<configuration>3</configuration>
<permissions>
<string>RUN_BUILD</string>
<string>STOP_BUILD</string>
</permissions>
</com.pmease.quickbuild.model.Authorization>
{code}
# Post content of _tempfile.xml_ to QuickBuild using below command:
{code}curl -X POST -u admin:admin -d@tempfile.xml http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations{code}

h1. Delete authorization

h2. Syntax
Authorization can be deleted using http DELETE method through below url:
{code}http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations/<authorization id>{code}
Here _<authorization id}_ stands for id of the authorization to be deleted.

h2. Security
You will need to use http BASIC authentication to login as administrator if the anonymous does not have administrative right.

h2. Demo
Below [curl|http://curl.haxx.se/] command demonstrates how to unauthorize configuration _root/test_ (assume id is _2_) for group _tester_ (assume the id is _3_).
# Get authorizations of group _tester_ with below command:
{code}curl -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations?group_id=3{code}
# Analyze response of above command to find out id of the authorization associated with configuration id _2_, assume id of the found authorization is _100_.
# Delete the found authorization with below command:
{code}curl -X DELETE -u admin:admin http://localhost:8810/rest/authorizations/100{code}
