Retrieving configured IMS role for D2L role

Question

Is there any way to get the configured IMS role for a specific D2L role?

I am able to list all roles from this URL: /d2l/api/lp/1.0/roles/ which produces JSON such as:

[{
    "Identifier":"104",
    "DisplayName":"Administrator",
    "Code":""
},...]

but I don't see the configured IMS role for that role, also what does the Code attribute represent? On every role I've encountered, it's been empty.

Answer 1

Currently, the mapping between D2L Roles and Org Unit Types and the types supported by IMS is contained in the checkbox matrices in the IMS Configuration administration tool. These values are not currently exposed through the Valence Learning Framework API.

Also, the Code property on the D2L Role exists for integrations with a client SIS system, I believe; the SIS role code that maps to a D2L Role would then show up in this property -- if your back-end service doesn't have a D2L-provided integration with an SIS, then that explains why these properties aren't getting used.
