New: Manage users and account access via the API

We have extended the SAManage API to provide our users and partners with the ability to create, modify, or delete users in their accounts directly from the API. The recent addition to the API makes it easier to integrate with on-premise solutions and manage your user’s access from one central repository such as your current LDAP.

Getting a list of all users

This request returns a summary of all users available in the account.

GET “https://app.samanage.com/users.xml”

curl –digest -u “username:password” -H “Accept: application/vnd.samanage.v1+xml” -X GET “https://app.samanage.com/users.xml”

Creating a user

The following request will create a new user in the account. When a new user is created an activation email is sent to the user’s email requesting that he actives his new account and select a password.

POST “https://app.samanage.com/users.xml”

curl –digest -u “username:password” -d “<user><email>a@d.com</email><first-name>a</first-name><last-name>b</last-name><phone>1234567890</phone><roles><helpdesk_user>1</helpdesk_user></roles></user>” -H “Content-Type:text/xml” -X POST “https://app.samanage.com/users.xml”

Updating a user

The following request will update user properties for a specific ticket.

PUT “https://app.samanage.com/users.xml”

curl –digest -u “username:password” -d “<user><email>a@d.com</email><first-name>a</first-name><last-name>b</last-name><phone>1234567890</phone></user>” -H “Content-Type:text/xml” -X PUT “https://app.samanage.com/users/1518.xml”
