ipperson@User returned as userId by REST API

Lex Clay shared this problem ago

Resolved

Hi guys,

Creating a user in a client org via the REST API.

Get security token via /api/refresh-tokens with the body

{

"userName":"admin@domain.co.uk",

"password":"password",

"clientOrgRef":"testRefId"

}

Create user in client org via /api/admin/users?uniqueUsers=true & the body

[{

"userId":"bob@testpie.com",

"emailAddress":"bob@testpie.com",

"roleCode":"YFREPORTCONSUMER",

"password":"test",

"firstName":"Bob",

"lastName":"PieTester",

"languageCode":"EN",

"timeZoneCode":"GMT"

}]

Attached is the response I get....any idea what I've done wrong or if it's a bug...?

Hi Lex,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I'm having problems getting my Postman testing to work. I just wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten about you!

I'll continue working on it and I'll let you know as soon as I have something.

Hi David,

I've identified the root cause of the issue. It only happens when uniqueUsers=true flag is sent in the URL. Removing that flag creates the user correctly. Looking at it, there's no need for that flag anyway, you get a bad request response if the email address is already in use.

It's up to you if you continue with looking at it mate but from my side, I have a workaround that means I don't need the fix so you can close this request.

Thanks anyway chap.

Hi Lex,

Thank you for the update. I'm glad you are up and running!

I'm still going to chase up why the userID is different when uniqueUsers=true flag is sent. I'm curious now! I'll let you know what I find out.

Hi Lex,

I have confirmed this is intended functionality. When using uniqueUser, the username assigned is <ipid>@User to ensure unique id’s. This was a feature of the SOAP webservices. When used with allow duplicate emails, it means that the onboarding would not throw an error if an existing username was used.

Have a good one!

David
