Overview

User and Group APIs enable you as an Org admin to perform operations on users and groups in a SnapLogic Org.

The following user-based operations are supported:

Creating a user
Updating a user
Deleting a user
Retrieving a user's information

The following group-based operations are supported:

Creating a group
Fetching a group's information
Fetching information of all groups in an Org
Updating members' list
Adding members in a group
Removing members from a group
Deleting a group

Any user can retrieve their own user data, but only Org admins can see other users and are able to make any modifications.

Authentication

The API authenticates requests using basic authentication over HTTPS. Support for more authentication methods is under consideration for future updates.

If you are using the REST Snaps to access the SnapLogic API, you will need to create a REST account with your SnapLogic credentials.

Delete a User

Deletes a user from the database. To successfully perform this action, you need to be an admin on all of the user's orgs.

This delete action permanently removes the user from the system (unlike the SnapLogic user interface that only deletes a user from the org, but not from the system). To check if a user exists in other orgs (before deleting), use the PATCH /api/1/rest/public/groups/{organization}/{name} option on the user group of your org.

API

DELETE /api/1/rest/public/users/{email}

Syntax

REST Client:
DELETE https://<pod_name>/api/1/rest/public/users/<email_address>

cURL Command:
DELETE /api/1/rest/public/users/<email_address> HTTP/1.1
Host: <pod_name>
Authorization: Basic <bearer_token>
Cache-Control: no-cache

Parameters

Not applicable.

Examples

Request:
https://uat.elastic.snaplogic.com/api/1/rest/public/users/john.doe@test.com

Response:
{
 “success”: “ok”
}

Group API

Creating a group
Fetching a group's information
Fetching information of all groups in an Org
Updating members' list
Adding members in a group
Removing members from a group
Deleting a group

Create a Group

To create a group and add members to it, you must do two API calls. Use this API to create the group. To add members to the group, make this API call again using the Members parameter.

Org and Groups

This API does not check if the Org within which you plan to add the target group and users exists. Therefore, verify first that the Org is created, then create the group first, then add the members.

Group Names

We recommend you do not insert spaces in your Group name; instead, use an underscore.
