IFS Service - User Management

Martin Beall

Hello

I was able to fairly easily create a new user in CloudSuite OS using with /ifsservice/usermgt/v2/admin/users using POST

The request body for /ifsservice/usermgt/v2/admin/users accepts a userlist where an id can be specified, but it just returns a message that the user already exists when using POST and the example for using PATCH is not clear at all how the request body should be specified (shown below).

{

  "userlist": [

    {

      "id": "string",

      "operations": [

        {

          "op": "string",

          "path": "string",

          "value": [

            {

              "value": "string",

              "currentPassword": "string"

            }

          ]

        }

      ]

    }

  ]

}

Where can I find the valid values for these properties?

This is something that we are working towards improving in our documentation and does not currently exist in the standard docs. You can always open a support ticket to get answers to questions you can not find via normal paths.

The IFS Service API has limited user update functionality, the PATCH endpoint you are referencing only allows for changing the user status or changing the default Accounting Entity. There is an enhancement request in with development to further expand the IFS Service API to include updating the majority of user variables ( firstname, lastname, department, title., etc. ) in the PATCH request. I do not know when that will become available but I will reach out to development and see if I can find details. Anything I find I will add to this post.

I have attached a 'IFS API Examples and Usage .docx' that I put together a while back that covers some of the basic functionality that you can do using the IFS Service API as it relates to users and role assignment. Hopefully this will help.
