Action and Action Template ​

Action ​

The valid operations that can be performed on an action are:

OperationDescriptionAccess Level
viewView an existing Action
launchLaunch an Action
deletedelete an Action
- Delete: Can delete the action.

Example ​

Scenario: A custom action "Convert to TUM Format" is developed by the "Perception Team".

  • Developers: The "Perception Team" needs to update the action definition. They get Write access.
  • Users: All users in the "Robotics Corp" project need to run this action. They get Read access (which allows execution).
  • Restricted Action: An experimental "Delete Outliers" action might be restricted to senior engineers only, so only they are granted Read access to it. | stop | Stop an Action | |

Action Template ​

The valid operations that can be performed on an action template are:

OperationDescriptionAccess Level
viewView an existing Action Template
createCreate a new Action Template
deleteAction Template cannot be deleted-

Action Trigger ​

Triggers hang off a mission, so their access level is the access level you hold on that mission. The valid operations are:

OperationDescriptionAccess Level
viewView a single Trigger
listList the Triggers of a Mission
createCreate a new Trigger
updateChange an existing Trigger
deleteDelete a Trigger

Listing triggers without naming a mission returns every trigger you can reach — those in missions you can read, those in projects you can read, and those you created yourself. Admins see all of them.

API Keys ​

An API key is scoped to exactly one mission and carries its own rights level. On trigger endpoints that scope is the ceiling, and nothing widens it:

  • Having created the trigger does not let a key read it from outside the key's mission.
  • Being an admin does not either — a key is never an admin.
  • Passing a different missionUuid when listing does not escape the scope; the key's own mission is always used.

So a key issued for Field Test 2024-11-14 reads that mission's triggers and nothing else, even when its owner can reach far more through the web app.

Webhook trigger uuids are capabilities

POST /hooks/actions/:uuid is unauthenticated, and :uuid is the trigger's uuid. Anyone who learns it can fire the action, and the action runs as the trigger's creator. Granting on a mission therefore lets someone run that mission's webhook actions, whatever rights the action template itself asks for. Treat webhook trigger uuids as secrets.
