     957At least one credential must be a valid slice credential for the slice specified in `slice_urn` if that is an argument, or for the slice that contains the named slivers, if sliver urns are an argument, or a valid administrative credential with sufficient privileges. Credentials must be valid (signed by a valid GENI certificate authority either directly or by chain, not expired, and grant privileges to the client identified by the SSL client certificate). Each method requires specific privileges, which must be granted by the provided credentials. Note that the semantics of this argument is not clear: most implementations require a single credential to provide all needed privileges. Alternative interpretations might, for example, accumulate privileges from each valid credential to determine overall caller permissions. For details on GENI AM API format credentials, see [wiki:GeniApiCredentials the GENI wiki].

    957959=== `geni_end_time` ===
    958960The `geni_end_time` argument requests an expiration of the specified slivers. It is in dateTime.rfc3339 format (defined above).
     
    980982]
    981983}}}
     984
     985=== `options` ===
     986An XML-RPC struct. For !GetVersion only, this argument is optional. In all other methods, it is required. Only !ListResources has required entries in the options struct. Aggregates are compliant with this API change by accepting this argument. Aggregates may accept entries to this struct. Aggregates should not require any new options to any method - they should always have a reasonable default for any such option. Aggregates should document new `options` arguments. The prefix `geni_` is reserved for members that are part of this API specification. Implementations should choose an appropriate prefix to avoid conflicts.

    10461051Where supplying `geni_sliver_urns`, whether or not the `geni_slice_urn` is also supplied, means return a manifest RSpec showing the (allocated or provisioned) slivers listed - not necessarily the complete slice at this aggregate.

    10821087Options include:
     
    11071112AKA !RenewSliver() or !RenewAllocated
    11081113Request that the named slivers be renewed, with their expiration extended. If possible, the aggregate should extend the slivers to the requested expiration time, or to a sooner time if policy limits apply. This method applies to slivers that are `geni_allocated` or to slivers that are `geni_provisioned`, though different policies may apply to slivers in the different states, resulting in much shorter max expiration times for `geni_allocated` slivers.
