Splunk® Enterprise

REST API Reference Manual

License endpoint descriptions

Manage licensing configurations.

Usage details

Review ACL information for an endpoint

To check Access Control List (ACL) properties for an endpoint, append /acl to the path. For more information see Access Control List in the REST API User Manual.

Authentication and Authorization

Username and password authentication is required for access to endpoints and REST operations.

Splunk users must have role and/or capability-based authorization to use REST endpoints. Users with an administrative role, such as admin, can access authorization information in Splunk Web. To view the roles assigned to a user, select Settings > Access controls and click Users. To determine the capabilities assigned to a role, select Settings > Access controls and click Roles.

App and user context

Typically, knowledge objects, such as saved searches or event types, have an app/user context that is the namespace. For more information about specifying a namespace, see Namespace in the REST API User Manual.

Splunk Cloud Platform limitations

As a Splunk Cloud Platform user, you are restricted to interacting with the search tier only with the REST API. License endpoints are generally not accessible in Splunk Cloud Platform.

See Access requirements and limitations for the Splunk Cloud Platform REST API in the the REST API Tutorials manual for more information.
