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
});


//########## role ################

//step 4: searching for a role by it's name
let findRole= callApi("access/getRolesByName",{
	"data": {
		"searchValue": "test role",
		"searchMatchType": 2// search flag enumerations. 2 = SearchMatchType.Equals
	},
	"auth": token // admin token generated above
});
// get role ID	
let roleId=findRole.data[0].roleId;
				
log("found role with id= "+ roleId);

//step 5: deleting the role
let deleteRole=callApi("access/deleteRole",{
	"roleId": roleId, // from step 4
	"auth": token
});


//########## tenant ################

//step 6: search for tenant
let findTenenat=callApi("access/getTenantByName",{
	"tenantName": "Test Tenant 1",
	"auth": token
});
// get tenant ID					
let tenantId=findTenenat.data.id;
				
log("found tenant by name "+ tenantId);

//step 7: delete the tenant we found in step 2
let deleteTenants=callApi("access/deleteTenants",{
	"data": {
	"tenantIds": [
		tenantId
	], // use the array method, because it can accept multiple ID's
	"deleteUsers": true, //delete all tenant users
	"deleteServers": true //delete all data source servers associated with tenant
	},
	"auth": token
});
