Updated on 08 April, 2026

List all IAM roles that a specific user can assume on Vultr. View available assumable roles based on configured trust relationships through the IAM API.

Listing the roles a user can assume allows you to see all assumable roles that have a trust relationship granting the user access. This is useful for understanding what elevated permissions a user can temporarily activate.

This guide explains how to list roles a user can assume using the Vultr API.

  1. Identify the user_id of the user. Follow the steps in How to List All Users in an Organization to retrieve user IDs.

  2. Send a GET request to the List Assumable Roles endpoint to retrieve all roles the user can assume. Replace {user-id} with the id of the user.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/role-trusts/assumable/{user-id}" \
    -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"

    The response contains the requested resources.
