URL structure

https://access-service.xy-company.com/api/v1/collaborations/items/{itemId}

where {itemId} is the ID of a Secure Object or collection.

Supported methods and overview

  • DELETE - used to allow a Covata user to remove themselves as a collaborator from a Secure Object or collection (i.e. item), based on the item's ID.

Note: This method takes no parameters.

Detailed description

This API endpoint allows the currently authenticated Covata user* to remove themselves as a collaborator from either a Secure Object or a collection, based on this item's ID.

The item's ID can be obtained by calling the <access-service>/api/v1/items API endpoint, which retrieves a list of information associated with Secure Objects and collections that can be filtered using various 'search' criteria.

If the item's ID is that of a collection, then the currently authenticated user is removed from all items contained within this collection.

Note: This functionality is equivalent to a Covata user either removing their access to secure content (shared with them) through the Safe Share web application as well as Safe Share for Windows or iOS.

* The currently authenticated user is determined by the access token passed in the header of requests to this endpoint.

Supported roles and conditions

This API endpoint supports the following Covata user roles (as described in the Covata Platform Administrator's Guide) and conditions:

  • Originator - a Covata user with this role can call this endpoint for an item they are a collaborator on.
  • Collaborator

The Covata Platform's resources available to one of these Covata users (above) is determined by the access token passed in the header of requests to this endpoint.

Required headers

The appropriate access token as the Bearer token:

  • Authorization: Bearer a1b2c3d4-e5f6-g7h8-i9j0-k1l2m3n4o5p6
