Some of the API features are documented in places like: IBM Maximo REST API Guide – IBM Maximo REST API Guide or Maximo - IBM TechXchange Community
The Maximo REST API also supports the OpenAPI/Swagger documentation. If you access the documentation for Manage (hitting the Manage URL with: /maximo/oas3/api.html ) you can see APIs like this permissions API.
Enhancements are constantly being made to the product and not all of them are documented unfortunately. A lot of these requirements come from the product team to support requirements they have, especially with the new MAF based applications.
At the most basic level, if you are in the Object Structures application there is an Add/Modify API Route action. This will show you various handlers available. It won't explain to you how to use them, though, and there are a ton of different options for some like the object structure API. That's why you need to review the other documentation options.

We have the permission REST API for the logged in user. If you want to get all permissions for a user, you can use this:
/maximo/oslc/permission/allowedappoptions
If you want to get for a specific app or object structure, you can use something like this:
/maximo/oslc/permission/allowedappoptions?app=ASSET
/maximo/oslc/permission/allowedappoptions?app=MXAPIWODETAIL

Hi,
Is there a way to check using Rest API if the user has write access to certain object structure?
