Assuming identities

Description

An identity can work with resources of an accessible identity by specifying (we use the term "assuming") the login of the resource owner.

Working with accessible identities

The following operations allow operating with accessible identities:

• keys renewal:

await aliceSession.renewKeys(aliceChildIdentity.login, 'aliceChildP@ssw0rd');

Assuming identities for resources accessing

To work with resources of an accessible identity the identity's login has to be specified:

• to get a resource:

let aliceChildIdentityResource = await new DataPeps.ResourceAPI(
  aliceSession
).get(aliceChildIdentityResourceId, { assume: aliceChildIdentity.login });

• to delete a resource:

await new DataPeps.ResourceAPI(aliceSession).delete(
  aliceChildIdentityResourceId,
  {
    assume: aliceChildIdentity.login
  }
);

• to extend resource's sharing group:

await new DataPeps.ResourceAPI(aliceSession).extendSharingGroup(
  aliceChildIdentityResourceId,
  [bob.login],
  { assume: aliceChildIdentity.login }
);
