Import users
Learn how you can import users from a configuration file into the API-Manager. This approach is following the Desired vs. Actual state approach.
Export and report users
You can export one or more users from a running API-Manager or just get a list/report of users. You can filter the users based on different criteria.
Import a User
The Axway API-Management CLI tool allows you to import or basically replicate the desired Users into the API-Manager to become the actual state.
To get started use the CLI with the following command: apim user import -h
which provides you with a complete usage.
The mandatory required parameters are the stage (alternatively host/username/password) and the API-Configuration file. The following examples should help you to get started:
Command | Comment/Description |
---|---|
apim user import -s qa -c SampleUser.json |
Replicates a user into the QA-Stage |
User configuration file
{
"name" : "Dave Dalton",
"loginName" : "dave",
"email" : "[email protected]",
"role" : "user",
"organization" : "Partners",
"type" : "external",
"state" : "approved",
"createdOn" : 1599555999322,
"enabled" : true,
"description" : "Dave is the Developer"
}
Export Users
The Axway API-Management CLI tool allows you to export Users from the API-Manager for instance in order to promote them into the next stage, put them under version-control or just to update the configuration.
To get started use the CLI with the following command: apim user get -h
which provides you with a complete usage.
Filter the list of Users
You can filter the list of Users. Multiple filters are combined with AND. The following provides you with a few examples. Please check the usage for all filter options:
Command | Comment/Description |
---|---|
apim user get -s prod |
Lists ALL users with standard information on the console |
apim user get -s qa -name "*John*" -ultra |
Gets users named John and prints them with all available information |
Export Format
By default the get
operation is using the console view and generates a table representation of the exported data. However, you can provide a --format
or -f
parameter to the get
operation to control the export format you want.
JSON
This format gives you the JSON format as it's required to import the organization with apim user import
. For each exported user an export folder is created.
Command | Comment/Description |
---|---|
apim user get -s prod -id 8f7bd987-0736-43b.... -o json |
Export the user with the provided ID into the current folder. |
apim user get -s qa -t C:/axway/users -o json |
Gets All applications from the QA-Stage exported into the given target folder. For each exported user a folder is created automatically within the target folder. |
You can provide the option: -deleteTarget
if you would like to replace existing folders.
