Updating an access request

As the owner of the account the access request comes to, you can update the properties of an access request by using the UI, CLI, or API.

The following table describes the actions you can take as the account owner.

Owner states

Reject Denies the access request.
Revoke Removes access requests that were granted previously.

Updating an access request in the console

To update an access request using the UI, take the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Zones section of your DNS Services instance.
  2. Click the link in the Name column of the request you want to review.
  3. Select the Cross-account ACL tab.
  4. Click overflow menu Overflow menu icon of the linked zone for which you want to manage an access request.
  5. Select Review request.
  6. Select Reject or Approve to complete the request, or click the X at the top right of the side panel to close the request and take no action.

Updating an access request from the CLI

To update an access request using the CLI, run the following command:

ibmcloud dns cross-account access-request-update ZONE_ID REQUEST_ID --action ACTION [-i, --instance INSTANCE] [--output FORMAT]

Where:

  • ZONE_ID is the ID of the owner's zone.
  • REQUEST_ID is the ID of the access request.
  • --action value is the action applied to the access request. Valid values: "APPROVE", "REJECT", "REVOKE".
  • -i, --instance value is the instance name or ID. If not set, the context instance specified by ibmcloud dns instance-target INSTANCE is used.
  • --output value specifies the output format. Currently, json is the only supported format.

Updating an access request with the API

To update the properties of an access request using the API, follow these steps:

  1. Set up your API environment with the correct variables.

  2. Store the following values in variables to be used in the API command:

    • INSTANCE_ID, which is the unique identifier of a service instance.
    • DNSZONE_ID which is the unique identifier of a DNS zone.
    • ACCESS_REQUEST_ID which is the unique identifier of an access request.
    • IAM_TOKEN, which is the IAM authorization token.

  3. When all variables are initiated, update the properties of the access request:

    curl -X PATCH \
    https://api.dns-svcs.cloud.ibm.com/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID/dnszones/$DNSZONE_ID/access_requests/$ACCESS_REQUEST_ID \
    -H "Authorization: $IAM_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"action": "APPROVE"}
