Hi @yash_verma,

what is the API you are calling?

The error you're encountering, "INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE: Permission type not defined," suggests that there is an issue with the JSON payload you are using to set permissions for the job via the API. Specifically, it seems that the API is expecting a defined permission type, but it is not finding one in your request.

Add the Permission Type: Modify your JSON payload to include the "permission_type" field. Here is an example of how you might structure it:

{
"access_control_list": [
{
"user_name": "no_email@gmail.com",
"display_name": "no_email",
"all_permissions": [
{
"permission_level": "CAN_MANAGE",
"inherited": false,
"permission_type": "user" // Add this line
}
]
}
]
}

Hi Alberto,

Please refer the below link from databricks and there is no such param name as permission type. Even I have tried to retrieve the another job permission through api and there also no such parameter exists. Not sure from where this error is coming

Update job permissions | Jobs API | REST API reference | Databricks on AWS

Thanks for sharing the endpoint.

Could you please send me the API call you are making with body details? based on the error looks like something might be wrong with the call.

I see the problem. It is because you are inputting parameters that are not valid ones. The REST API Patch call should look something like the example in the page:

You are inputting values that are shown on the sample response.

Please validate the input parameters indicated on the API.

{
"access_control_list": [
{
"user_name": "string",
"group_name": "string",
"service_principal_name": "string",
"permission_level": "CAN_MANAGE"
}
]
}

I get that the solution was accepted, but it is very confusing when you run the databricks command as follows:

databricks clusters get-permissions my-joyous-db-cluster

"access_control_list": [

{
"all_permissions": [
{
"inherited":false,
"permission_level":"CAN_RESTART"
}
],
"display_name":"Databricks User Jim",
"user_name":"nbu@flaminghell.onmicrosoft.com"
}

"object_id":"/clusters/3333-123456-aaaa2jk8",

"object_type":"cluster"

}

and when you set the permissions the format is like:

{

"access_control_list": [

{

"permission_level":"CAN_RESTART",

"display_name":"Databricks User Jim",

"user_name":"nbu@flaminghell.onmicrosoft.com"

}

"object_id":"/clusters/3333-123456-aaaa2jk8",

"object_type":"cluster"

}

Why the all_permissions on the print out but not on the user names when you set them. Why is the format not exactly the same when getting and setting the values? This is rediculous.
