I would like to modify user properties such as first name and last name through a user admin page in my app. I’d also like to be able to set a user as ‘inactive’ through this interface.
Is this possible through the REST API? I’ve had a very detailed look through the swagger and the documentation and can’t find anything. I see there is an end point for password reset, are there any others I am unaware of?
Many thanks,
Doug
A user can POST to user/profile to update their built in profile information. The potential payload keys are:
{
"email": "string",
"first_name": "string",
"last_name": "string",
"display_name": "string",
"phone": "string",
"security_question": "string",
"default_app_id": int,
"security_answer": "string"
}
This how the user profile page works in the admin in app ( http://…/dreamfactory/dist/index.html#/profile )
Many thanks for the info and quick response Drew, very much appreciated.
I am aware of the user/session end point enabling a user to update their own properties, I was hoping to create an admin page when an admin user could modify the properties of other users, including the ability to perform a password reset (using the dedicated end point as stated in the documentation) or to set an account as “inactive”.
This would work in much the same way as the admin app (http://…/dreamfactory/dist/index.html#/users).
If this can be done through the user/session end point, could you give me a high level explanation of how to do this.
Thanks again
Oh I see.
These properties are editable by the system/user endpoint.
If you’re creating a new user it’s a POST to system/user
If editing an existing user it’s a PATCH to system/user/{user id}

If you look at the system/user endpoint in API Docs, you should see the model there, but it won’t include the relationship data. This relationship data was inadvertently removed when Swagger 2.0 was implemented. I have asked the engineering team to add this info back to the API Docs.
That’s fantastic, many thanks for the information, exactly what I need.
Apologies, I totally forgot at the system/user endpoints and got fixated on the user service.
Thanks again, especially for the fast turnaround.
