        • For the principal input, the name of the organization must be followed by a colon and the organizational unit name. For example, for an organization unit named Test_OrganizationUnit that is derived from an organization named TestOrganization, specify the principal input as follows: Test_Organization:Test_OrganizationalUnit
        • The top-most level of an organization (the organizational unit with the same name as the organization entity) can also be set as the principal input using the convention above (the principaltype must be set to OrganizationalUnit instead of Organization. For example, Test_Organization:Test_Organization
        • The permission applies only to members of the top-most level of the organization, as the permission does not flow down to all organizational units.
        • To add the permission to the entire organization and its organization units, the principalType parameter must be specified as Organization and the name of the organization in the principal parameter.

If this service is run against a single row configuration table or a multi-row configuration table that does not have a primary key, it will throw an exception (HTTP NOT FOUND). Infotable rows are identified by a primary key throughout ThingWorx. Therefore, without a primary key, there is no way to get a specific row.

        Additional Information

        If the persistent parameter is set to false, some settings may still be visible in the multi-row configuration table in Composer that were actually deleted (in-memory only), unless the entity is restarted (call RestartThing for things and verify that the settings are no longer displayed).

        If the entity is saved (in Composer) while the settings in the multi-row configuration table are still being displayed (after deleting with persistent = false), then the settings will become persisted (in-memory) again (i.e. as if it was never deleted).
