}

"user_name": "no_email@gmail.com",

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.

Please let me know if you require more details. I have put the screenshot of insomnia

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"
}
]
}
