SoftLayer API which User_Customer_CustomerPermission_Permission value controls "Power on"

On the SoftLayer Customer Portal list of devices, Virtual Server -> Acton, I can see action options of "Reboot, Power On/Off, Rename device, View Audit Logs".

The SoftLayer API SoftLayer_User_Customer_CustomerPermission_Permission/getAllObjects gives a list of permissions.

Which SoftLayer_User_Customer_CustomerPermission_Permission value should I revoke from the user account if I want to revoke the user's right to do Reboot/Power on/Power Off and still leave the user's right of "Rename device" ?

Solution

  • You have to remove this permission Rebbot/Power on, off/:

    {
"key": "H_2"
"keyName": "REMOTE_MANAGEMENT"
"name": "IPMI"
}

    and you have to grant this permission to rename the device:

    {
"key": "H_7"
"keyName": "HOSTNAME_EDIT"
"name": "Hostname"
}
