Add an Analyst User Profile

This example demonstrates how to run queries and slicers (parameters) programmatically to extract results.

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":"adminUser",
		"password":"abc123!"
	}
},false);


//step 2: get default tenant
let defaultTenantResult = callApi("access/getDefaultTenant",{
	"auth": token
});
let tenantId = defaultTenantResult.data;

//step 3: retrieve all profiles for a specific tenant
let getAllProfilesByTenantId= callApi("access/getAllProfilesByTenantId ",{
	"tenantId": tenantId,
	"auth": token
});


//step 4A: add a new profile called "Consumers" using the numeric approach

//	build the numeric value by summing the bit switches for each item needed.
// assume we want to have advanced (9) and discovery (3) choices on

let bitNum = (2^3) + (2^9)


let saveProfile= callApi("access/addProfile",{
	"profileApiData": {
		"name":"Consumers",
		"description":"Basic tools for consumer user types",
		"permissions":{"numeric":bitNum},
		"tenantId":tenantId
	},
	"auth": token
});

let profileId = saveProfile.data.modifiedList[0].id

//step 4B: add a new profile called "Consumers" using the array approach
// assume we want to have advanced (9) and discovery (3) choices on

let saveProfile2= callApi("access/addProfile",{
	"profileApiData": {
		"name":"Consumers",
		"description":"Basic tools for consumer user types",
		"permissions":{"permissionBitIndexList":[9,3]},
		"tenantId":tenantId
	},
	"auth": token
});

let profileId = saveProfile2.data.modifiedList[0].id


//step 5: creating roles
let createRole=callApi("access/createRoles",{
	"data": [{
		"roleName": "prole1",
		"tenantId": tenantId
	},{
		"roleName": "prole2",
		"tenantId": tenantId
	}],
	"auth": token
});
let role1 = createRole.data.modifiedList[0].id;
let role2 = createRole.data.modifiedList[1].id;
log("created roles "+role1+","+role2);


//step 6: bind new profile to role1
let updateRolesByProfileId=callApi("access/updateRolesByProfileId",{
	"profileRolesData": {
		"profileId":profileId,
		"rolesToAdd":[role1],
		"rolesToRemove":[]
	},
	"auth": token
});

//step 7: retrieve all roles with a given profile
let allProfileRoles= callApi("access/getAllRolesByProfileId",{
	"profileId": profileId,
	"auth": token
});

//step 8: delete the profile
let deleteProfile= callApi("access/deleteProfile",{
	"profileId": profileId,
	"auth": token
});
