Update the permissions that apply to all users on a Dynatrace settings object with the Settings API, for example to share it read-only environment-wide.

PUTSaaShttps://{your-environment-id}.apps.dynatrace.com/platform/settings/v1/objects/{object-id}/permissions/all-users

Overview

You use the object-id path parameter to choose a settings object and the permissions field in the request body to set what every user in the environment can do with it. Anyone with write permission on the object can update these permissions. With the admin-access query parameter set to true and the settings:objects:admin permission, you can act on objects you don't own.

Authentication

To execute this request, you need a platform token or OAuth access token with settings:objects:write scope. To learn how to obtain and use it, see Tokens and authentication.
