Roles & Policy → Create Role ACL

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation creates a Role Access Control List (ACL) within the Roles & Policy resource domain of the Aruba Central Next Gen API. It is useful for managing role-based access control by defining permissions and policies for different roles in a network environment. For example, network administrators can use this node to programmatically create ACLs that specify what actions a role can perform on network resources, enhancing security and operational control.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a new role ACL named 'my-role-acl' with specific permissions defined in the JSON body to control access within the configuration domain.
  2. Automating the creation of role ACLs with different scopes and personas to streamline role management in large network deployments.
