API DEPRECATIONS: Users

With the release of the new roles and groups APIs, a set of users features are being deprecated. As of November 1, 2022 they will no longer be available. Please ensure to follow the migrations to avoid any downtime.

ENDPOINT: GET /users/metadata

Support for this endpoint is being removed. The role names can now be retrieved from the list roles endpoint.

ATTRIBUTE: roles

Support for user.roles is being removed and replaced with user.assignedRoles. Each assigned role reference maps to an instance of a role object.

Terminal window
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/users/me" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>"
Terminal window
# Http 200 - Ok
{
  ...
  "roles": [
    "TenantAdmin",
    "Developer",
  ],
  "assignedRoles": [
    {
      "id": "60804cf8a77b649c66733f60",
      "name": "TenantAdmin",
      "type": "default",
      "level": "admin"
    },
    {
      "id": "60804cf8a77b649c66733f65",
      "name": "Developer",
      "type": "default",
      "level": "user"
    }
  ]
}

ATTRIBUTE: created, lastUpdated

The attributes created and lastUpdated are being renamed to createdAt and lastUpdatedAt respectively.

PATCH OPERATIONS & PATHS VALUES

Support for the operations set, unset and add are being removed. It’s recommended to use the operation replace for modifying the assigned roles.

Additionally, the path /roles is being deprecated in favor of using /assignedRoles

Terminal window
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/users/123456789012345678901234" \
 -X PATCH \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
 -H "Content-type: application/json" \
 -d '[
    {
      "op": "replace",
      "path": "/assignedRoles",
      "value": [
        { "id": "60804cf8a77b649c66733f60" },
        { "id": "60804cf8a77b649c66733f65" }
      ]
  ]'
Terminal window
# Http 204 - No Content

SORTING

Support for the sorting attributes sortBy and sortOrder is being removed and replaced with sort. This query parameter can be prefixed with +/- to indicate the sort order.

Examples:

  • sort=+name
  • sort=-name
  • sort=name

PAGINATION

The pagination query parameters startingAfter and endingBefore are being renamed to next and prev respectively.

QUERY PARAMETER: tenantId

The query parameter tenantId is no longer required and will default to the tenant being accessed.

QUERY PARAMETER: subject, email, status, role

These four user attributes are no longer supported as query paremeters when querying users.

Terminal window
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/users?subject=1234567890&email=john.smith@corp.example&status=active" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>"

You can now perform the same query using the filter query parameter.

Terminal window
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/users?filter=subject eq "1234567890" and email eq "john.smith@corp.example" and status eq "active" \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>"

For more complex filtering, you can optionally use the new filter endpoint.

Terminal window
curl "https://your-tenant.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/users/actions/filter" \
 -X POST \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer <API-key>" \
 -H "Content-type: application/json" \
 -d '{
    "filter": "subject eq \"1234567890\""
  }'
