Get a User by UPN (SAML)

// 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);
log("got token "+token);

// step 2: creating a SAML user
let userId="83e631f5-98ca-4424-a696-33e109690ffb"

let createSamlUsers = callApi("access/createUserSaml",{
	"newSamlUser": {
		"id":userId,//you can set the user id to a specific valid GUID/UUID. Otherwise a GUID will be auto generated
		"userName": "jhon.doe",
		"principalName":"user@samlDomain.com",//this is the SAML user ID provided by the saml provider
		"firstName": "john",
		"lastName":"doe",
		"adminType":0,//AdminType.None
		"clientLicenseType":100,//ClientLicenseType.Viewer
		"email":"user@mySite.com",
	},
	"auth": token // admin token generated above
});

// step 3: optional step to update user's first name
let updateUser=callApi("access/updateUsersSaml",{
	"updateUser":[{
		"id":userId,
		"firstName":"Paul"
	}],
	"auth": token // admin token generated above
});


//step 4: find user by SAML principle name
let getByPrincipalName=callApi("access/getUserBySamlPrincipalName",{
	"PrincipalName":"user@samlDomain.com", //this is the SAML user ID provided by the saml provider
	"auth": token 
});

//step 5: get user status by id
let userStatus=callApi("access/getUserStatusById",{
	"userId": userId,
	"auth": token
});
log("user status "+userStatus);
