Setting space permissions for a user

You can give users permissions to manage or view objects, or allow access to engines in different spaces.

If you need to assign space permissions to a service account, see Assigning space permissions to a service account.

Before you begin

You must have Environment Administrator role in Talend Management Console.
You must know the IDs of the space and user for which your are setting the permissions.

You can access the Management Console API via this link. You'll find a list of the URLs corresponding to each data center in Accessing Talend Cloud applications.

Use the GET /security/workspaces/{workspaceId}/users/{userId}/permissions endpoint to read the current permissions of the user for the selected space.
Example
```
GET https://api.us.cloud.talend.com/security/workspaces/7a35e78eaea645620e47f826/users/d13404b5-e9nc-4g5f-9904-a5f0dc287fb0/permissions
```
If you are assigning permissions to a user that did not have any permissions on the specified space, use the POST /security/workspaces/{workspaceId}/users/{userId}/permissions endpoint and add the permission(s) in the body of the request.
Example
```
POST https://api.us.cloud.talend.com/security/workspaces/7a35e78eaea645620e47f826/users/d13404b5-e9nc-4g5f-9904-a5f0dc287fb0/permissions
["AUTHOR", "EXECUTE"]
```
If you are adding a new permission to an already assigned user on the specified space, use the PUT /security/workspaces/{workspaceId}/users/{userId}/permissions endpoint and add the permission(s) in the body of the request.
Example
```
PUT https://api.us.cloud.talend.com/security/workspaces/7a35e78eaea645620e47f826/users/d13404b5-e9nc-4g5f-9904-a5f0dc287fb0/permissions
["AUTHOR", "EXECUTE"]
```
