Get a Compartment

get

/20160918/compartments/{compartment_id}

Get the specified compartment's information. This operation does not return a list of all the resources inside the compartment. There is no single API operation that lists all resources of all types in a compartment. To find out what resources are in a compartment, use the List operation for each resource type, specifying the OCID of the compartment as a parameter in the request. For example, call the Compute service ListInstances operation or the Block Storage service ListVolumes operation.

Body ()

Root Schema : Compartment

Type: object

A compartment is a collection of related resources. Compartments are a fundamental component for organizing and isolating cloud resources. For example, use compartments to separate resources for one project or business unit from another, or to manage access to the resources through the use of IAM Service policies.

A common approach is to create a compartment for each major part of your organization. To place a resource in a compartment, simply specify the compartment OCID when you create the resource. For example, to launch an instance into a particular compartment, specify the OCID of that compartment in the LaunchInstance request.

Avoid entering confidential information when you supply string values using the API.

Show Source

• compartmentId(required): string
  The OCID of the parent compartment containing the compartment.
• definedTags: object definedTags
  Additional Properties Allowed: additionalProperties

  Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. Example: {"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}
• description(required): string
  Minimum Length: 1

  Maximum Length: 400

  The description you assign to the compartment. Does not need to be unique, and it is changeable.
• freeformTags: object freeformTags
  Additional Properties Allowed: additionalProperties

  Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. Example: {"Department": "Finance"}
• id(required): string
  The OCID of the compartment.
• inactiveStatus: integer(int64)
  The detailed status of INACTIVE lifecycleState.
• isAccessible: boolean
  Indicates whether or not the compartment is accessible for the user making the request. Returns true when the user has INSPECT permissions directly on a resource in the compartment or indirectly (permissions can be on a resource in a subcompartment).
• isMaximumSecurityZone: boolean
  Flag indicate whether this compartment has Security Zone enabled.
• lifecycleState(required): string
  Minimum Length: 1

  Maximum Length: 64

  Allowed Values: [ "CREATING", "ACTIVE", "INACTIVE", "DELETING", "DELETED" ]

  The compartment's current state. After creating a compartment, make sure its lifecycleState changes from CREATING to ACTIVE before using it.
• name(required): string
  Minimum Length: 1

  Maximum Length: 100

  The name you assign to the compartment during creation. The name must be unique across all compartments in the parent. Avoid entering confidential information.
• securityZoneId: string
  The OCID of the Security Zone this compartment is associated with.
• timeCreated(required): string(date-time)
  Date and time the compartment was created, in the format defined by RFC3339. Example: 2016-08-25T21:10:29.600Z
