VAST Data roles API is one of 126 APIs that [VAST Data](https://apis.io/providers/vastdata/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Roles. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and SDKs.

Roles are sets of VMS permissions. They can specify one or more LDAP groups. Mapping roles to LDAP groups gives LDAP group members the ability to log into VMS and be authorized with the aggregate of permissions belonging to all mapped roles.
