Get a dataset member's permissions

/datasets/{owner}/{dataset}/members/{username}/permissions

For general information on the API, including formatting, parameters, and pagination, please see the API Overview.

❗️

Heads Up!

This page documents the Advanced Access version (think "beta" but with fewer bugs) of the Datasets API functionality.

This returns the permissions of a specified user within a specified dataset.
Members may have the following permissions for a given dataset:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Copy
  • Execute
  • Admin

Permissions are granted at the dataset-level. You may, for instance, have admin permission in one project, execute permission in another, and read-only permission in a third.
