Carbon Black Cloud: What Does "This Permission Set May Contain Unversioned APIs" Warning Mean?

Products

• Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard (formerly Cb Defense)
• Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR (formerly Cb Threathunter)

Issue/Introduction

Why do some API Keys (Settings > API Access) have the following warning during and after creation?

This permission set may contain unversioned APIs. Visit developer.carbonblack.com for all currently supported/versioned APIs.

Environment

• Carbon Black Cloud Console: All Versions
• Carbon Black Cloud APIs

Resolution

A User Role (Settings > Roles) has been selected as the Custom Access Level for the API Key displaying the warning and has additional permissions granted to it that are not available to any of the public APIs.

Additional Information

• Once an API Key is created, its Access Level Type and Custom Access Level settings will be greyed out and cannot be modified.
• Access Levels can be created and modified under Settings > API Access > Access Levels.
• Review the Authentication section from the Carbon Black Cloud API documentation of the desired API for required Access Level permissions.
