Manage Roles

The Manage Roles APIs enable you to create and manage roles in Pulse.

Roles define the permissions and cluster-level access assigned to users. A role consists of one or more clusters, a set of permissions, and optional user or Active Directory (AD) group mappings.

Before using these APIs, authenticate with the Pulse server. For more information, see Authenticate with Pulse APIs.
