Hi I am trying to understand how to fetch the share status of a liveboard. I see the documentation for updating the shareMode here: https://rest-api-sdk-v2-0.vercel.app/#/http/api-endpoints/security/share-metadata but how can I fetch it while I fetch the liveboard?

@Anand Pushpraj Can you help here?
Do you want to get permissions for a user for liveboard? you can use this api : api/rest/2.0/security/metadata/fetch-permissions,
If you want to obtain details about the liveboard, you can use this api:
api/rest/2.0/metadata/search
end point to fetch the share status of the metadata -> /api/rest/2.0/security/metadata/fetch-permissions
By using this API you can fetch the defined permission on the metadata. Defined permission means the share status of the user/usergroup to whom you have shared this metadata.
Still user who has admin access will be able to accee the metadata but it won't come in the defined permission until you shared the metadata manually to them.
Ok thanks for the quick response. I am trying to use the playground to see what response looks like and it is erroring out, seems like it's happening to the other rest apis as well. Can this be fixed?
For reference, I am testing this api: https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/restV2-playground?apiResourceId=http%2Fapi-endpoints%2Fsecurity%2Ffetch-permissions-on-metadata. It looks like the type is required but none of them work with the example "identifier4" as the identifier.

Hey, @Lisa ,
You are trying it in your Thoughtspot web-app right?
If not, directly on developer docs - you will need to add the metatadata id from the : https://try-everywhere.thoughtspot.cloud/v2/#/everywhere/playground/search
Here when you do some embed their particular id's are added in the code you can try with them for now.
But for your research - For now try with : LiveboardId : b173faa2-e861-4540-a232-853f7aeb2c37
And MetatdataIdentifier is : LIVEBOARD.
You can get other from the : try-everywhere : https://try-everywhere.thoughtspot.cloud/v2/#/everywhere/playground/search
Also what error are you getting?
Thank you for the example above, that resolved the error I was getting. We are trying to implement a way to get all the shareModes of a list of liveboards in the same call that we fetch the list of a user's liveboards. It seems like using this API endpoint might cause some slowness since it can only process one liveboard at a time.
I've noticed that in the 'metadata/search' endpoint, we can include the "include_stats" param and that will give us a "hasLenientDiscoverability" field. Is this field, when true, equivalent to a liveboard that has share permissions and vice versa?
I think it is equivalent to the is Answer Discoverable or not..
