Issue/Introduction

The user I am trying to manage from the API.

<user>

<userId>269</userId>

<permissionId>761900</permissionId>

<defaultGroupId>761900</defaultGroupId>

<name>[email protected]</name>

<description>A GHLHM Customer</description>

<enabled>true</enabled>

<removable>true</removable>

<email>[email protected]</email>

<timezone>America/Edmonton</timezone>

<authenticationType>PRODUCT</authenticationType>

<role>

 

User's current groups from the API.

<groups>

<group ID="761900" Name="GA"/>

</groups>

 

The group.xml file I am trying to use to update.  I have tried <groups></groups> as was the old way, and the way below that is listed in the documentation.

<group>
        <group ID="9801155"/>
        <group ID="9802263"/>
</group>

 

Commands I have tried to get to the users groups to update.

 

[[email protected] UserMaker]# curl -X put --user GA_admin:password http://paws-ore-performance-center-capm.axiacloud.org:8181/pc/center/webservice/users/userName/[email protected]/269/groups -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -T "add_group.xml"

[[email protected] UserMaker]#

 

The documentation does not have /userName/ as part of the path, but that was the old way, and if you leave it out it errors out.

Environment

Release : 20.2

Component : IM Reporting / Admin / Configuration

Cause

addGroups URL should be:

/pc/center/webservice/users/userName/[email protected]/addGroups

NOT:

/pc/center/webservice/users/userName/[email protected]/12628824/addGroups

Resolution

add /userName/ to the path but remove the userid, as follows

/pc/center/webservice/users/userName/[email protected]/addGroups
