Getting Role Details
Last updated on 10 July, 2023You can use LogicMonitor REST API v3 to get role details. You must authenticate yourself before making the API request.
Getting List of Roles
You can include the following query parameters to control the kind of data to include in the response and how it is formatted.
URI: GET /setting/roles
| Parameter | Type | Description |
fields | String | The response is filtered to include only the specified fields for each object. You can provide a list of properties separated by a comma. Example – /setting/roles?fields=name,privileges |
size | Integer | Specify the number of results to display. A maximum of 1000 results can be requested in a GET call. By default, a list of 50 roles is returned if a value is not provided for this parameter. Example – /setting/roles?size=5 |
offset | Integer | Specify the number of results to offset the displayed result. Example – /setting/roles?offset=2 |
filter | String | The response is filtered according to the operator and specified value.
Operators include:
Example – /setting/roles?filter=name:administrator |
Example 1
The following Python script will return a list of all roles in the api.logicmonitor.com portal.
#!/bin/env python
import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac
import getpass
#Account Info: LogicMonitor recommends to NEVER hardcode the credentials. Instead, retrieve the values from a secure storage.
#Note: The below is provided for illustration purposes only.
AccessId = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessId: ")
AccessKey = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessKey: ")
Company = 'apiAccount'
#Request Info
httpVerb ='GET'
resourcePath = '/setting/roles'
queryParams = ''
data = ''
#Construct URL
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath +queryParams
#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))
#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath
#Construct signature digest = hmac.new(
AccessKey.encode('utf-8'),
msg=requestVars.encode('utf-8'),
digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
signature = base64.b64encode(digest.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8')
#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + str(signature) + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth,'X-Version':3}
#Make request
response = requests.get(url, data=data, headers=headers)
#Print status and body of response
print('Response Status:',response.status_code)
print('Response Body:',response.content)Python 3
Example 2
The following Python script will return a list of roles in the api.logicmonitor.com portal, where only the name, associatedUserCount, and privileges are returned for each result and the results are sorted in the descending order according to the associatedUserCount.
#!/bin/env python
import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac
import getpass
#Account Info: LogicMonitor recommends to NEVER hardcode the credentials. Instead, retrieve the values from a secure storage.
#Note: The below is provided for illustration purposes only.
AccessId = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessId: ")
AccessKey = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessKey: ")
Company = 'apiAccount'
#Request Info
httpVerb ='GET'
resourcePath = '/setting/roles'
queryParams = '?fields=name,associatedUserCount,privileges&sort=-associatedUserCount'
data = ''
#Construct URL
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath +queryParams
#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))
#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath
#Construct signature digest = hmac.new(
AccessKey.encode('utf-8'),
msg=requestVars.encode('utf-8'),
digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
signature = base64.b64encode(digest.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8')
#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + str(signature) + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth,'X-Version':3}
#Make request
response = requests.get(url, data=data, headers=headers)
#Print status and body of response
print('Response Status:',response.status_code)
print('Response Body:',response.content)Python 3
Getting Details of Specific Role
URI: GET /setting/roles/{id}
| Parameter | Type | Description |
id | Integer | (Mandatory) The Id of the role whose details you want to get. |
fields | String | The response is filtered to only include the specified fields for each object. You can provide a list of properties separated by a comma. Example – /setting/roles/{id}?fields=name,associatedUserCount |
The following Python script will return the details for the role with Id 8.
#!/bin/env python
import requests
import json
import hashlib
import base64
import time
import hmac
import getpass
#Account Info: LogicMonitor recommends to NEVER hardcode the credentials. Instead, retrieve the values from a secure storage.

AccessId = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessId: ")
AccessKey = getpass.getpass("Enter your AccessKey: ")
Company = 'apiAccount'
#Request Info
httpVerb ='GET'
resourcePath = '/setting/roles/8'
queryParams = ''
data = ''
#Construct URL
url = 'https://'+ Company +'.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + resourcePath +queryParams
#Get current time in milliseconds
epoch = str(int(time.time() * 1000))
#Concatenate Request details
requestVars = httpVerb + epoch + data + resourcePath
#Construct signature digest = hmac.new(
AccessKey.encode('utf-8'),
msg=requestVars.encode('utf-8'),
digestmod=hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
signature = base64.b64encode(digest.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8')
#Construct headers
auth = 'LMv1 ' + AccessId + ':' + str(signature) + ':' + epoch
headers = {'Content-Type':'application/json','Authorization':auth,'X-Version':3}
#Make request
response = requests.get(url, data=data, headers=headers)
#Print status and body of response
print('Response Status:',response.status_code)
