Requestor information missing in Request API - Applications Manager

Products

• Automic Applications Manager

Issue/Introduction

When using the Applications Manager REST API, the Requestor field for request jobs may appear to be missing.

Symptoms

• The Requestor option is missing when requesting jobs via API.
• Users wish to set Requestor value when using Request Job API.

Environment

• Automic Applications Manager
• REST API

Cause

This occurs because the standard API behavior sets the Requestor to the user authenticating the API call.

Resolution

For the Request API, the Requestor value is set to the user authenticating the API call. To have a different user listed as the Requestor, authenticate the API as that specific user.
