Examples
User Operations (JavaScript):
This example demonstrates how to find and delete users, roles and tenants.
The example uses API authentication driven from JavaScript. See Authentication APIs for alternatives.
// URL of the Pyramid installation and the path to the API 2.0 REST methods
var pyramidURL = "http://mysite.com/api2/";
// step 1: authenticate admin account and get token
// NOTE: callApi method is a generic REST method shown below.
let token = callApi("auth/authenticateUser",{
"data":{
"userName":"adminUser1",
"password":"abc123!"
}
},false);
log("got token "+token);
//########## user ################
//step 2: searching for a user by it's name
let findUser= callApi("access/getUsersByName",{
"userName": "john",
"auth": token // admin token generated above
});
// get user ID
let userId=findUser.data[0].id;
log("found user with id= "+ userId);
//step 3: deleting the role
let deleteUser=callApi("access/deleteUser",{
"userId": userId, //from step 2
"auth": token // admin token generated above
});

//step 4: searching for a role by it's name

"data": {

});
// get role ID

//step 5: deleting the role
let deleteRole=callApi("access/deleteRole",{
"roleId": roleId, // from step 4

});
//########## tenant ################
//step 6: search for tenant

//step 7: delete the tenant we found in step 2
let deleteTenants=callApi("access/deleteTenants",{
"data": {

], // use the array method, because it can accept multiple ID's
"deleteUsers": true, //delete all tenant users

},
