For more information about associating Covata users with groups, see [\/api/v1/organisations/\{orgId}/groups/\{groupId}](/3.4/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-groups-groupid.md). Also see [\/api/v1/organisations/\{orgId}/groups](/3.4/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-groups.md) for more information about adding new groups to an organization. * Therefore, it is recommended that any newly added classification be associated with at least one group of Covata users as soon as possible, since a classification (not yet associated with any group of users) which is specified when sharing (i.e. modifying collaborators on) a [new](/3.4/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orggroupid-objects.md) or [existing](/3.4/api/access-service-api-v1-objects-objectid.md) file object, prevents that file from being shared. * Be aware that by design and for security reasons, it is not possible to edit any aspect of a classification once it has been added to an organization. * Retrieves a list of information for all classifications configured in an organization (specified by `orgId`). ## Supported roles and conditions This API endpoint supports requests utilizing Covata user accounts with the following [roles](/3.4/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#an-organisation-users-roles) (as described in the [Organization Administrator's Guide](/3.4/admin-org.md)) and conditions: * [Organization administrator](/3.4/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#organisation-administrator-role) - using the `POST` method, when this user is a member of the organization specified by `{orgId}` in the request's URL. * **Organization administrator**, [Originator](/3.4/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#originator-role), [Collaborator](/3.4/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#collaborator-role), [Ad hoc](/3.4/admin-org/administering-users-within-an-organisation.md#adhoc-role) - using the `GET` method, when this user is a member of the organization specified by `{orgId}` in the URL. The Covata Platform's resources available to one of these Covata users (above) is determined by the access token submitted in the [header](/3.4/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels.md#access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels-required-headers) of requests to this endpoint. ## Required headers The appropriate access token as the `Bearer` token: * `Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE0NjcwMTY2NjYsInVzZXJfbmFtZSI6ImFsZXgub...` The following header is required if the body of the request has a JSON object: * `Content-Type: application/json` ## Required POST-request parameters The following required parameters must be sent in the **body** of the POST request, each as individual members of a **JSON object**: * **name** - The name of the new classification to be added to the organization specified by `{orgId}` in the request's URL. \ **Example (request):** ```json theme={null} { "name": "Unclassified" } ``` ## Optional POST-request parameters The following optional parameters can also be sent in the **body** of the POST request, each as individual members of the **JSON object** that includes the [Required POST-request parameters](/3.4/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels.md#access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels-required-post-request-parameters) above: * **description** - The description of the new classification to be added to the organization specified by `{orgId}` in the URL. \ **Example (request):** ```json theme={null} { "name": "Unclassified", "description": "Used for content that does not have a classification level. People who are not members of staff (or without security clearance) may view such content." } ``` ## Optional GET-request parameters The following optional parameters can be sent in the **URL** of the GET request: * **limit** - An integer value from `0` to `100`, representing the maximum number of items to be returned in the response, where an individual item is information about a classification configured in the organization (specified by `{orgId}` in the request's URL). If this parameter is omitted, then its value is `0` by default, which does not apply restrictions to the number of items returned in the response. * **offset** - A value representing the count order of all retrievable items (i.e. classifications in the organization specified by `{orgId}` in the URL) returned in the response. Calls to this API endpoint may amount to potentially large numbers of items being returned from the Covata Platform. Since the order of these items in the response could differ significantly, based on the values of the **orderBy** and **sortBy** parameters below, this **offset** parameter provides pagination for items returned in responses, allowing items to be retrieved from any count greater than `0` (i.e. the first item returned in a response). If this parameter is omitted, then its value is `0` by default. * **orderBy** - An enumeration (enum) value representing the order in which items (i.e. classifications in the organization specified by `{orgId}` in the URL) are returned in the response. This parameter orders items according to the value of the **sortBy** parameter specified below. Ordering items can be in either ascending alphanumeric order (by specifying the value `ASC` for this parameter) or descending order (by specifying the value `DESC`). If this parameter is omitted, then its value is `ASC` by default. * **sortBy** - A value representing the field (i.e. member) of a retrieved item by which items (i.e. classifications in the organization specified by `{orgId}` in the URL) returned in the response will be sorted. Valid field values for this parameter include: * `name` - the name of the classification, * `description` - the description of the classification and * `priority` - the priority of the classification. **Example (request):** ```text theme={null} https://access-service.xy-company.com/api/v1/organisations/760756644367081472/labels?limit=10 ``` > [!NOTE] > > Due to a bug, if the **limit** URL parameter above is not specified with a value > `0`, then none of the other parameters submitted in the `GET` request have any impact on items returned in the response. ## Returns If the request succeeded, then an HTTP response status `200 OK` is returned. For successful requests only, a JSON-formatted response containing the following members is also returned: * **items** ( *from GET requests only* ) - An array containing information about all existing classifications configured in the organization (specified by `{orgId}` in the request's URL), where these classifications have been filtered by any [parameters](/3.4/api/access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels.md#access-service-api-v1-organisations-orgid-labels-optional-get-request-parameters) submitted in the request. Each element of this array contains information about one of these classifications (represented as an object containing the following members unless otherwise stated). * **id** - The ID of the (new) classification. * **name** - The name of the (new) classification. * **description** ( *from GET requests only when specifying a **limit** parameter value > 0* ) - The description of the (new) classification. * **priority** - The current priority value, which is used for sorting classifications from highest (i.e. a priority integer value of 1) through to the lowest priority (i.e. the highest priority integer value, which equals the total number of all classifications defined in an organization). * **assigned** ( *from GET requests only when specifying a **limit** parameter value > 0* ) - A boolean value that indicates whether (`true`) or not (`false`) the classification has been associated with one or more groups. * **applyI18n** - . * **nameI18nResponse** ( *from GET requests only when specifying a **limit** parameter value > 0* ) - . * **descriptionI18nResponse** ( *from GET requests only when specifying a **limit** parameter value > 0* ) - . * **count** ( *from GET requests only when specifying a **limit** parameter value > 0* ) - The total number of items (i.e. classifications configured in the organization specified by `{orgId}` in the request's URL) that can be returned in the response. * **offset** ( *from GET requests only when specifying a **limit** parameter value > 0* ) - The value of the **offset** which had been used in the request to this API endpoint. \ **Example (response from a POST request - adding a new classification to an organization):** ```json theme={null} { "id": "766862496543055872", "name": { "value": "Unclassified" }, "description": { "value": "Used for content that does not have a classification level. People who are not members of staff (or without security clearance) may view such content." }, "priority": "3", "applyI18n": false } ``` **Example (response from a GET request - specifying a 'limit' parameter value > 0 in the request):** ```json theme={null} { "items": [{ "id": "766855749304623104", "name": "Confidential", "description": "This classification level is used for content that should only be accessible to members of staff with security clearance. Anyone outside the company (including partners) should not access this content.", "priority": "1", "assigned": false, "applyI18n": false, "nameI18nResponse": { "value": "Confidential" }, "descriptionI18nResponse": { "value": "This classification level is used for content that should only be accessible to members of staff with security clearance. Anyone outside the company (including partners) should not access this content." } }, { "id": "766860228984872960", "name": "Restricted/Protected", "description": "This classification level is used for content that should only be accessible to members of staff (or non-staff company partners with security clearance).", "priority": "2", "assigned": false, "applyI18n": false, "nameI18nResponse": { "value": "Restricted/Protected" }, "descriptionI18nResponse": { "value": "This classification level is used for content that should only be accessible to members of staff (or non-staff company partners with security clearance)." } }], "count": "2", "offset": "0" } ``` **Example (response from a GET request - omitting the 'limit' parameter from the request):** ```json theme={null} { "items": [{ "id": "766855749304623104", "name": { "value": "Confidential" }, "priority": "1", "applyI18n": false }, { "id": "766860228984872960", "name": { "value": "Restricted/Protected" }, "priority": "2", "applyI18n": false }] } ``` This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
