ShowPermissions

The ShowPermissions action returns information on whether a specified IP address is allowed to send query actions or administrative actions to the action port.

For users that belong to the Admin standard role (see Authorization Roles Configuration Parameters), the ShowPermissions response also includes information about the rules that are used to define whether a particular client IP address has particular permissions.

Example

action=ShowPermissions&IP=12.3.4.56

This action checks whether the machine with the IP address 12.3.4.56 is allowed to send actions to the port. If you send the action as a user that belongs to the Admin standard role, the action returns the following information:

If you send the action as a user that does not belong to the Admin role, the action does not return the <autn:rules> section of the response.

Alternatively you can specify the action without an IP address, in which case IDOL Content Component returns the permissions information for the referring IP address.
