Examples

These examples show you how to copy a catalog object with a given type and id.

Example 1 - Change ownership of a workbook to a user with a given user ID
Example 2 - Change ownership of a workbook to an application role

Example 1 - Change catalog item ownership to a user with a given user ID

In this example, you change ownership of a catalog object with a given type (workbook) and a given ID to a new user. The workbook is called MySalesWorkbook. The object ID of the workbook is /@Catalog/shared/Sales/MySalesWorkbook which has the Base64URL-safe encoded ID value L0BDYXRhbG9nL3NoYXJlZC9TYWxlcy9NeVNhbGVzV29ya2Jvb2s.

cURL Example:

First, obtain the object ID of the workbook you want to change ownership for and the user ID of the new owner. Base64URL-safe encode the object ID value to determine the id. You can obtain the Object ID value from the Inspect dialog for the workbook (or folder) in Oracle Analytics Cloud. You can obtain the user ID from the Inspect dialog for the user in Users and Roles.

Run the cURL command with the required accountType and owner:

curl -i \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --request POST 'https://<hostname>/api/20210901/catalog/workbooks/L0BDYXRhbG9nL3NoYXJlZC9TYWxlcy9NeVNhbGVzV29ya2Jvb2s/actions/changeOwnership' \
     --data '{"accountType":"User",
              "owner": "user.name@Oracle.com"}'

Example of Request Body

{"accountType": "string",
      "owner": "string"}

Example of Response Body

Status 200:

Example 2 - Change catalog item ownership to an application role

In this example, you change ownership of a catalog object with a given type (workbook) and a given ID to a new application role. The workbook is called MySalesWorkbook. The object ID of the workbook is /@Catalog/shared/Sales/MySalesWorkbook which has the Base64URL-safe encoded ID value L0BDYXRhbG9nL3NoYXJlZC9TYWxlcy9NeVNhbGVzV29ya2Jvb2s.

cURL Example:

First, obtain the object ID of the workbook you want to change ownership for and the application role name. Base64URL-safe encode the object ID value to determine the id. You can obtain the Object ID value from the Inspect dialog for the workbook (or folder) in Oracle Analytics Cloud. You can obtain the application role name from the Inspect dialog for the application role in Oracle Analytics Cloud.

Run the cURL command with the required accountType and owner:

curl -i \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
     --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     --request POST 'https://<hostname>/api/20210901/catalog/workbooks/L0BDYXRhbG9nL3NoYXJlZC9TYWxlcy9NeVNhbGVzV29ya2Jvb2s/actions/changeOwnership' \
     --data '{"accountType":"ApplicationRole",
              "owner": "DVContentAuthor"}'
