REST API “Permission Denied” Error When Accessing /aps Endpoint on Ruckus Controller

[Sayedtaban]

I’ve been working on retrieving information from a Ruckus controller using the REST API on my VPS.

Here’s what I did:

1. I selected the username that belongs to the super-admin group.

2. I successfully obtained the login cookies using this username and password (I confirmed I can log in via the controller web UI).

3. Using these cookies, I can successfully access the /domains endpoint.

   However, when I try to access the /aps endpoint, I receive the following error:

   {"message":"Permission denied (Access is denied)","errorCode":211,"errorType":"Lack of admin privilege"}

   Even though I’m using a super-admin account, the controller still reports that I lack admin privileges.

   Does anyone know why this happens and how to resolve it?

Since you got no feedback from Ruckus employees here...

I'm guessing that maybe your group isn't permissioned to the very top-level System domain?

My experience has been that /aps doesn't work unless your group permissions are on the top-level System domain.

I use /query/ap instead. In addition to working for non-System-admins, it returns much more comprehensive AP info.

Thank you — your suggestion was excellent. Could you assist me with one item: please provide the API endpoint(s) (or relevant documentation links) to obtain venue data, 802.11 cause codes for disconnected access points, and client data.
