Role API

Note: Sign in to the developer console to build or publish your skill.

Note: This API is only available to registered Alexa Smart Properties for healthcare partners. See Get Started with Alexa Smart Properties for Healthcare APIs.

An Alexa Smart Properties for healthcare user must have an assigned role before they can access any Alexa Smart Properties for healthcare resources. The creator of a unit is assigned the administrator role for that unit automatically.

For more details about organizational roles, see About Managing Roles for Alexa Smart Properties for Healthcare.

API endpoint

The endpoint of the Role API is https://api.amazonalexa.com.

Authentication

Each API request must have an authorization header whose value is the access token retrieved from Login with Amazon (LWA).

Batch assign a role

Call POST /v1/roles/{roleId}/assignments/batchAssign to assign a role to the specified principals. For details about how to retrieve the user IDs that you need for the principals, see Obtain Customer Profile Information.

After accepting the request, this operation performs synchronous validations and then returns a 202 (Accepted) response. Each principal is then assigned to the role asynchronously in the background.

In the case of invalid inputs, the entire batch operation fails. That is, either all the request items are processed or none.

If there's an existing role assignment for a given roleId and principalId with propagate set to false, a role assignment request for the same roleId and principalId with a propagation value of true updates the existing role assignment with propagation.

Note: This operation can't downgrade a propagated role assignment. That is, if there's an existing role assignment for a given roleId and principalId with propagate set to true, you get an error if you try to make a role assignment request for the same roleId and principalId with a propagation value of false. To downgrade a propagated role assignment, you must first revoke the role assignment with Revoke a role assignment or Batch revoke a role assignment, and then reassign it.

Batch revoke a role assignment

Call POST /v1/roles/{roleId}/assignments/batchRevoke to revoke a role for the specified principals. For details about how to retrieve the user IDs that you need for the principals, see Obtain Customer Profile Information.

After accepting the request, this operation performs perform synchronous validations and then returns a 202 (Accepted) response. Each principal is then revoked for the role asynchronously in the background.

In the case of invalid inputs, the entire batch operation fails. That is, either all the request items are processed or none.

Note: This operation can neither revoke a propagated role assignment without the propagate flag nor revoke a non-propagated role assignment with a propagate flag. That is, if there's an existing role assignment for a given roleId and principalId, you get an error if you try to make a role assignment request for the same roleId and principalId with the opposite propagate value.
