User deactivation using Rest API

[rdalli]

Hi,

I am trying to deactivate a user using REST API. I am usting the following API

https://inphitraining.autodeskplm360.net/api/rest/v1/users/xxxx?Content-Type=application/json&Accept=application/json

{
"userStatus":{"value":"Y"}
}

I get "HTTP Status 415 - Unsupported Media Type"

Has anyone attempted doing this? If yes please provide the JSON payload.

Regards,

Ravi

Hi Ravi,

To update (PUT) a user, use similar payload as when used to create (POST) a user.

The major difference is you need to provide the userID at the end of the endpoint.

  POST /api/rest/v1/users : Create a new user

  PUT /api/rest/v1/users/<userID> : Update user matching userID

Hope this helps,

Thank you Martin,

I was able to use the APIs and deactivate a user.

For othher who want to update users using REST, below is what I used.

PUT https://inphitraining.autodeskplm360.net/api/rest/v1/users/usedid

Header=> Content-Type = application/json

Payload:

{
"loginName":"JohnDoe",
"password":"Password1",
"firstName":"John",
"lastName":"Doe",
"licenseType":{"value":"S"},
"userStatus":{"value":"N"},
"email":"jdoe@abc.com",
"userTimeZone":{"value":"America/Los_Angeles"},
"showThumbnailPreference":"N",
"uomPreference":{"value":"metric"}
}
