I need to set user permission for my dataset through API

[jegan]

Hello,

I am using FreeNAS,

Here I am creating an automatic dataset for my client once they have done the payment.

I create the dataset and user through API, but I stuck to assigning the user permission to each dataset.

http://xxx.xxx.x.x/ui/storage/pools/permissions/freenasdemo%2F429602-st1-ZlGP1641991952

I don't know the proper endpoint, method and params for set the user permission to the dataset.

You could start by looking at the API docs on your TrueNAS server... http://truenas.ip/api/docs/

There you will probably discover that pool.dataset can set the permission types, but not the individual permissions for a dataset.

You may be able to do something with smb.sharesec... but that's only for SMB shares, so maybe not what you need.

If you're looking for detailed advice on implementing the API for commercial purposes, you're probably going to need to pay someone to work with you on it.

Thanks for your reply

I think there is a lot of difference between TrueNAS and FreeNAS API, the endpoint is totally different. Is there any other official document for the FreeNAS server?

You didn't specify a particular version, so I worked on the assumption that you're using the latest... either TrueNAS CORE 12.0 (equivalent to FreeNAS) or FreeNAS 11.3 (the last version with that title).

The pointer I gave you to the API docs works exactly the same on FreeNAS 11.3.

Maybe you mean between FreeNAS API 1.0 and API 2.0... 2.0 is the same on FreeNAS, TrueNAS CORE and even mostly the same on SCALE.

There is an online reference that provides information a little differently than the included docs on your server:

If you want to do something new with a product that's entirely out of support, you're going to be on an expensive journey.

If you do upgrade to a version that supports the current API, you might be interested in this section:
