Permission denied for item delete through API.

[jefftang]

I'm trying to synchronize a bunch of tasks into zabbix items via the api. The API is working fine for me, but I can't delete items through the API. ([ CItem::delete ] No permissions !). I can create them and list them, but I get "No Permissions" when I tried to delete them.

The API user I'm using can delete the item through the GUI.

I wanted to check here before I report a bug.

I'm using Zabbix 1.8.8.

I'm accessing the api throug a modified Zabbix.pm, which is just a thin wrapper around JSON::XS. Here's the debug output from a test script I wrote, which creates an item then tries to delete it:

request is: $VAR1 = {
          'auth' => 'a2b281ef47aa34107ff81240ad98af95',
          'params' => {
                        'key_' => 'pman.testitem.19503',
                        'applications' => [],
                        'hostid' => '10457',
                        'description' => 'Pman key for proc'
                      },
          'jsonrpc' => '2.0',
          'id' => 3,
          'method' => 'item.create'
        };
result is: $VAR1 = {
          'jsonrpc' => '2.0',
          'id' => 3,
          'result' => {
                        'itemids' => [
                                       '131947'
                                     ]
                      }
        };


request is: $VAR1 = {
          'auth' => 'a2b281ef47aa34107ff81240ad98af95',
          'params' => {
                        'itemids' => [
                                       '131947'
                                     ]
                      },
          'jsonrpc' => '2.0',
          'id' => 4,
          'method' => 'item.delete'
        };
result is: $VAR1 = {
          'jsonrpc' => '2.0',
          'error' => {
                       'data' => '[ CItem::delete ] No permissions !',
                       'message' => 'Application error.',
                       'code' => -32500
                     },
          'id' => 4
        };

Is there something I don't understand about permissions? Or should I report this as a bug.

Thanks,

Jeff

I just tried it with a different user of Zabbix Super Admin type and got the same results.

Never mind. I read the documentation more carefully. I need to set

params to [ Ritemid ]

instead of to { itemids:[$itemid]}

I have the same problem and I can't find the solution :

{"params": 
    {"itemids": ["27096"]}, 
    "jsonrpc": "2.0", 
    "method": "item.delete", 
    "auth": "ecbef1664a2728e338d32698efc90b0e",
    "id": 1}

{
    u'jsonrpc': u'2.0',
    u'id': 1, 
    u'error': {
        u'message': u'Application error.',
        u'code': -32500,
        u'data': u'[ CItem::delete ] No permissions !'
    }
}

I tried to replace itemids by Ritemids but this is the same...

[mcmyst]

Here is the solution in python

Wrong way:

delete_item = ["27096"]
print zapi.item.delete({"itemids":delete_item})

Right way:

delete_item = ["27096"]
print zapi.item.delete(delete_item)

pyzabbix item.delete No permissions

Can not get item.delete to work. All *.get commands from pyzabbix work correctly but can not delete an item, host etc...

Env:
pyzabbix-0.7.2
Zabbix 2.2.3
python 2.6.6

Code fragment
zapi = ZabbixAPI( zabbix_url )
zapi.login(username, password )can
print "Connected to Zabbix API Version %s" % zapi.api_version()
itemList = []
itemList.append(itemid)
print zapi.item.delete(itemList)

------- output -------
