How can i change the permissions of dynamically created Tags through REST API ?

Searched for answers, but couldn't figure it out.
The closest answer was:

I am using Splunk version 6

Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Got the answer finally :
You can update the permission of tags through REST API having a POST request at the following url and parameters:

https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/ks/search/saved/fvtags/tag_name/field%3Dvalue/acl -d owner="ks" -d sharing="app" -d perms.read="*" -d perms.write="*"

tried most of them ..didn't get any kind of success. In to documentation of ACL it is written many APi are supported but not all i suppose .So in that case can i change the permissions of tags ?
There is no sure answer for that anywhere , just examples .

Try this

 curl -k -u admin:password http://localhost:8089/servicesNS/js/search/data/search/tags/{tag_name}/acl -d owner=js -d sharing=app -d perms.read=* -d perms.write=*

i tried using this url
https://localhost:8089/servicesNS/admin/search/search/tags/{tag_name}/acl

Did you replace the '{tag_name}' with your tag name that you created?

[kartik13]

yes .. for sure . In the below comment i found about this link
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/RESTUM/RESTusing#Access_Control_List
Here in the docs , it says many api's are supported . Is that mean not all . So can i change the permissions of tags or not
