Get a Single Custom Role¶
Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the
same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID
remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the
term groups.

The Atlas API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request.
To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas API Access.
Syntax¶
GET /groups/{GROUP-ID}/customDBRoles/roles/{ROLE-NAME}

This endpoint might use any of the HTTP request query parameters available to all Atlas API resources. All of these are optional.
