Issue/Introduction

I would like to create a user and assign the admin role for that user by using RESTMAN in API Gateway.

Environment

API Gateway

Resolution

1. Create a user by posting the below data using REST API
   • RESTMAN URL: https://<GATEWAY_HOST>:8443/restman/1.0/users (POST)
   • Data: <l7:User providerId="0000000000000000fffffffffffffffe" xmlns:l7="http://ns.l7tech.com/2010/04/gateway-management">
         <l7:Login>test_user</l7:Login>
         <l7:Password>user-password</l7:Password>
         <l7:Properties>
             <l7:Property key="accountExpiration">
                 <l7:LongValue>-1</l7:LongValue>
             </l7:Property>
             <l7:Property key="enabled">
                 <l7:BooleanValue>true</l7:BooleanValue>
             </l7:Property>
             <l7:Property key="name">
                 <l7:StringValue>test_user</l7:StringValue>
             </l7:Property>
         </l7:Properties>
     </l7:User>
2. Verify the user is created and available by logging into the policy manager or via REST API call
3. Assign admin role by using this data vis REST API
   • RESTMAN URL: https://<GATEWAY_HOST>:8443/restman/1.0/roles/0000000000000000ffffffffffffff9c/assignments (PUT)
   • Data: <l7:AddAssignmentsContext xmlns:l7="http://ns.l7tech.com/2010/04/gateway-management">
         <l7:assignments>
             <l7:assignment>
                 <l7:providerId>0000000000000000fffffffffffffffe</l7:providerId>
                 <l7:identityName>test_user</l7:identityName>
                 <l7:entityType>User</l7:entityType>
             </l7:assignment>
