Get roles per message

Question

Is there any API which tells me what are the roles which have read access to a particular message (Discussion, blog, tkb, idea)

We are trying to implement a custom search and for this we need to know which roles have read access to which content.

While you can't check what permissions a given role has via the API, you can check if the current user can take a given action using the REST V2 Allowed endpoint, or specifically for viewing messages, you can use the REST V1 messages/view/allowed endpoint.

This will not work for us as we need the data for our federated search, we need to know if the roles associated with each category/board have read permissions or not, if yes what read permissions are allowed.Is creating an idea the only option left?

tsrisudh&nbsp;How do you query the API, e.g. with what Role/Authentication? If the API user was properly authenticated (do not use restadmin() for everything or an Admin Role for the API user!) you would not have to check for permissions, you would just get back what you can read, no?

luk&nbsp;This is not at a user level, we have a federated search to which we have to send data, we only have to send data in boards which&nbsp;have any of the read permissions set.

tsrisudh, Create a component to fetch all the message by using rest(api) call for boards or messages. This will return only read permission data from API. And after getting all the data you can send it to your federated search by using admin authenticated role.
