Field Name	Type	Description
index_list	Array of Objects	An array of IndexWithPermissions documents

Example IndexWithPermissions

{
  "index_list": [
    {
      "creation_date": "2017-09-05 19:02:18",
      "description": "",
      "display_name": "globus_search",

      "num_subjects": 1,
      "size_in_mb": 0,
      "status": "open"
    }
  ]
}

IndexWithPermissions

The following document type, an IndexWithPermissions document, describes various attributes of an index and includes the permissions field. It is otherwise the same as an GSearchIndex document.

Field Name	Type	Description
permissions	Array of Strings	The roles of the current user on this index. Values in this array are one of `{"owner", "admin", "writer"}`
display_name	String	A common name for the index suitable for display in user interfaces
id	String	A UUID uniquely identifying this index
description	String	A description of the index
creation_date	String	A timestamp in UTC, indicating when the index was created
is_trial	Boolean	Whether or not the index has "trial" status, meaning that there is no data durability guarantee and the index may be automatically deleted at any time starting 30 days after `creation_date`
subscription_id	String	The ID of the subscription to which this index is attached, if there is one (`null` otherwise)
max_size_in_mb	Integer	The maximum size the index will be permitted to grow to in units of Megabytes (1MB = 1,000,000 bytes)
size_in_mb	Integer	The current size of the index rounded down to the closest Megabyte value
num_subjects	Integer	The number of unique subjects stored in the index
num_entries	Integer	The number of GMetaEntries stored in the index

Example IndexWithPermissions

{
  "creation_date": "2017-09-05 19:02:18",
  "description": "",
  "display_name": "globus_search",
