Octane Rest API permission denied : Issue with deleting an entity of type "scm_branch"

Tigran Nersissian over 1 year ago

Hello everyone,

I am an SDET and currently working with the REST API in Python/Postman. I have been able to perform a PUT operation with an HTTP REST API call to a particular endpoint.
I created a pull request with 2 branches, then deleted the pull request using the UI, but I am unable to delete the branches with the UI or with HTTP requests.

I am trying to delete an entity of type "scm_branch". However, when I try to do so, I receive an error message saying "Current user is not authorized to perform this operation." The error message indicates that I do not have the necessary permissions to perform this operation.

I would like to know what permission level is required to delete an entity of type "scm_branch". Are there any settings or switches that I need to activate in order for this to work?

Here's the code that I used to try to delete the branch:

/api/shared_spaces/27001/workspaces/6001/scm_branches =>

{"total_count":2,"data":[{"type":"scm_branch","workspace_id":6001,"id":"1001"},{"type":"scm_branch","workspace_id":6001,"id":"1002"}],"exceeds_total_count":false,"total_error_count":0}

def createPullRequests(payload,Cookies):

urlRelation='https://'+server+':'+port+"/api/shared_spaces/"+shared_space+"/workspaces/"+workspace+"/analytics/ci/pull-requests"

payload = json.dumps(payload)

headersRelation = {

'content-type': "application/json",

'accept': "application/json",

'ALM_OCTANE_TECH_PREVIEW': 'true',

'hpeclienttype': "HPE_MQM_UI"

}

responseRelation = requests.request("PUT", urlRelation, data=payload, headers=headersRelation, cookies=Cookies, verify=False)

print(responseRelation.text)

return responseRelation

#createPullRequests(payload,Cookies)

def delete_branch(cookies ,branch_id):

headers = {

'content-type': "application/json",

'accept': "application/json",

'ALM_OCTANE_TECH_PREVIEW': 'true',

'hpeclienttype': "HPE_MQM_UI"

}

delete_url = 'https://'+server+':'+port+"/api/shared_spaces/"+shared_space+"/workspaces/"+workspace+"/scm_branches/1001"

response = requests.delete(delete_url, headers=headers,cookies=cookies, verify=False)

if response.status_code == 204:

print(f"La branche {branch_id} a été supprimée avec succès.")

else:

print(f"Erreur lors de la suppression {delete_url}de la branche {branch_id} : {response.text}")

delete_branch(Cookies ,'1001')

Error message :

"description":"Current user is not authorized to perform this operation.","description_translated":"User <Octane Python Wrapper> does not have enough permissions to perform <delete> operation on resource <scm_repository>.","properties":{},"business_error":true}

Thank you in advance for your help.
