Pull a list of all possible role privileges?

AaronKoelker

Is there a way to pull a list of all possible role privileges that can be assigned to custom roles? I know there are tables in the documentation, and I can pull lists of privileges from custom roles, but I'd like to be able to programmatically pull a list from the API given that new ones are occasionally added. And while I could scrape the web page tables, I'd rather not be at the mercy of an unexpected format change to that page. 

My goal is to build a list of default privileges programmatically for the default admin, publisher, and user roles, which can't be read in a role object the same way that custom roles or the Viewer and Data Editor roles can. I see that all privileges are tagged with admin, publisher, or user so if I can pull a full list then I can assign them via those tags. 

This would also be handy if you are trying to create custom roles and want to pull all user level privileges, for example, and then add a couple other privileges specifically by name.

After thinking on it more, I figured out an okay solution. Pull an existing user with an admin account and pull all possible privileges from there to get a complete list (assuming admins by default have all privileges). If there's a way to get a list without going through a user that would be nice, but for now this works. If you want to use this for the other default roles (Publisher, User) you need to have at least one user in the org who has been assigned to each default role. 

from arcgis import gis
from arcgis.gis import GIS

gis = GIS(url = 'your_portal_url', username = 'your_username', password = 'your_password')

# Get all privileges
for user in gis.users.search(query="role:org_admin", max_users=1):
    full_priv_list = user.privileges

# Get privileges for default roles
primary_default_roles = ['org_admin', 'org_publisher', 'org_user']
for dr in primary_default_roles:
    for user in gis.users.search(query = f'role:{dr}', max_users = 1):
        print(user.roleId)
        priv_list = user.privileges
        print(priv_list)
