Retrieves the effective permissions on a data source. When permissions have not been explicitly set on the data source, the effective permissions are the permissions of the user's role and any explicit permissions set for the user. When permissions have been explicitly set on the data source, the effective permissions are the same as the permissions that have been explicitly set regardless of role and user permissions.
Note: An administrator can execute this operation on behalf of a user by appending the user query parameter to the request and specifying a user name. See also Managing resources on behalf of users.
<myserver> is the hostname or IP address of the machine hosting the Hybrid Data Pipeline server for a standalone installation, or the machine hosting the load balancer for a load balancer installation. For a standalone installation, <port> is the port number specified as the Server Access Port during installation. For a load balancer installation, <port> must be either 80 for http or 443 for https. Whenever port 80 or 443 are used, it is not necessary to include the port number in the URL.
The {datasourceId} parameter must also be specified in the URL.
