How to validate if the user has a 'supervisor role' using API?

Data Actions
1

Hello Forum,

I am new and learning Genesys cloud and data actions on a fast pace as per the requirements.

I want to validate on my digital bot flow if the user is a supervisor, if yes, take one action if not, take another action.

have explored these APIs:
GET /api/v2/authorization/subjects/{subjectId}: Returns a listing of roles and permissions for a user.
GET /api/v2/users/{subjectId}/roles: Returns a listing of roles and permissions for a user.GET

both gives me a list of users or roles.

How do I either filter specific role to a user or specific user to a role? I believe either would work for me.

Thanks.

I am basing this answer on the /api/v2/authorization/subjects/me route which I had easy access to. You would have to modify this if the routes you are using give a different response shape.

I took the response from the API and put it in here (this isn't a Genesys site, so I wouldn't paste anything sensitive here):

I came up with this as the JSONPath to check if my user has the specified role name:

.grants..role[?(@.name == "Communicate - User")].name

If my user doesn't have it, it will return an empty array. If it does have the role, the role will end up in the response. If you want a boolean out of that you could do a contains on the variable to see if the name is in it.
