Add a Viewer 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
});
