Users 🔗

Catalog 🔗

/users/{?email,id}

A successful GET on this resource returns a Shoji Catalog whose “index” URL’s refer to User objects. If the “email” or “id” parameters are provided, the result is narrowed to Users matching those parameters.

This method only supports GET requests. To add users they need to be added from each account users’ catalog. This endpoint ensures that the new users belong to an account and get an invitation accordingly.

Entity 🔗

/users/{id}/{?reason_url}

A Shoji Entity with the following body members:

name
id
email
id_method (optional)
id_provider (optional, and only if id_method == ‘oauth’)

The id_method member can be one of {‘oauth’, ‘pwhash’}. If not present, ‘pwhash’ is assumed.

The authenticated user can only access another user’s entity endpoint IF any of the following are true:

Both belong to the same account
They are both members of a common team
Authenticated user is account admin and viewed user is collaborator on such account

PATCH a shoji:entity to the user’s entity endpoint containing the elements the user would like changed. A User may only alter their own entity. Here is how you would set the “labs” preferences, aka Early Access in the whaam app.

PATCH /users/{id}/
Host: app.crunch.io
Content-Type: application/json

{
"element": "shoji:entity",
"body": {
      "preferences": {"labs": true}
    }
}

Send invitation email 🔗

/users/{id}/invite/

A POST to this resource sends an invitation from the current user to the identified User. A 204 indicates success. The current user must have “can_alter_users” account permission or 403 is returned instead.

If a “url_base” parameter is included in the request body, it will be used to form links inside the invitation.

Change password 🔗

/users/{id}/password/

A POST on this resource must consist of a JSON object with the members “old_pw” and “new_pw”. A 204 indicates success, a 400 indicates failure.

Reset user’s password 🔗

/users/{id}/password_reset/

A GET on this resource always returns 204. A POST will send a reset password notification to the identified user. A 204 indicates success.

If a “url_base” parameter is included in the request body, it will be used to form links inside the notification.

Change user’s email 🔗

/users/{id}/change_email/

A POST on this resource must consist of a JSON object with the members “pw” and “email”. A 204 indicates potential success to change the users email address to the newly provided email. The user should check their email and verify they own the email address in question.

If the password does not match the users current password they will receive an error message (400 Bad Request). If the user is an oauth account, then the email address may not be changed (409 Conflict).

If the user ID does not match the current signed in user, an 403 Forbidden will be sent back.

Expropriate a user 🔗

An account admin can expropriate user artifacts from one user to another. This will transfer personal variables, favorites, filters, decks, and multitables to the new user.

Only artifacts from datasets within the account admin’s account will be transferred from one user to another.

POST /users/{id}/expropriate/
