Parameters


Parameter	In	Required	Type	Description
`rid`	path	true	uuid	Logical id of the Observation resource. Use the logical id of the resource.

Authorization

The supported authorization model uses OAuth 2.0 scopes issued by OCI Identity Domains. Send the access token as a bearer token. Resource-server definitions and issued access-token claims use canonical system/... scopes. Client grants and token requests use the corresponding ddfssystem/... form. For examples, see Reference: Authentication and Scopes.

Context	Scope form
Resource-server definition	`system/Observation.u`
Client grant/token request	`ddfssystem/Observation.u`
Issued token's `scope` claim	`system/Observation.u`
