This action allows administrators to view the permissions assigned to various roles, helping manage access control and ensure proper user authorization. Key capabilities include fetching service-specific privileges, simplifying the process of auditing and updating permissions across the organization.
Example Use Cases:
-
Access Control Review:
Retrieve all privileges assigned to a customer to audit user access levels and ensure security policies are enforced. -
Role Management:
Identify service-specific privileges to create or update custom admin roles with tailored permissions. -
Compliance Reporting:
Generate reports of assigned privileges to support regulatory compliance and internal security audits. -
Troubleshooting Access Issues:
