How to List Roles a User Can Assume

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.
