Dynect API permissions needed to delete a CNAME

Question

I'm trying to create a Dynect managed dns user with the minimum set of permissions necessary to add and delete CNAMEs via the REST API.

So far I can create CNAMEs but not delete them.

I have RecordAdd, RecordUpdate, RecordDelete, ZoneAddNode, ZoneRemoveNode, and ZonePublish set.

• When I try to delete a CNAME via the API I get a 404 error with "Host is not in this zone".
• When I try to delete the CNAME in the same way with a fully-privileged user it works fine, so I know the API call is correct.

Answer 1

You also need the RecordGet permission in addition to RecordAdd/Update/Delete.
