Title: Setup User Access Using ODWEK API
Post by: mshives on May 25, 2017, 09:17:21 AM

Is there a way to use ODWEK API to setup users?

The current procedure is very manual and would like to build an automated process to grant users access to appropriate containers, folder, appgroups, and apps. This would be based on a request that comes from a centralized enterprise security broker. Meaning the request for access has already been reviewed and approved and has been released for implementation.

Today it is an email that is sent to the CMOD Administrator to handle/process.

Thank you!

Not much of an ODWEK guru...but..

Could you take the request from the broker, and pass it to an ARSXML command via shell script..and then execute the script?

Yup, I think arsxml is the preferred (i.e., supported) way to do this now.

Alternately, if you wanted to make this faster in the Admin client, you could create a 'template' user, then right-click and choose 'Copy' in the Admin client.

Just for info, ODWEK supports the exact functionality as ARSXML, you just need to pass your well formatted XML to the method ODServer.xmlparse(...) so you don't need to call the command line tool.
