Disable all users except Admins and a specified user using API

ericdelaqua — Tue, 12 Nov 2019 22:00:32 GMT

Dear All,

Is it possible through API to disable all Nprinting Users except for admin and a specified user and how can we archive this?

My goal is to allow for ad-hoc report generation for specific users. I have all Nprinting tasks setup in QMC so I want to be able to disable all the users BUT ONE, then run a specific task which will only get delivered to the user not disabled.

Appreciate any ideas on this.

Thanks

Hi,

I have written library NPrinting.qvs which will be good reference for this:

There is no direct subroutine yet - I will work on it during my Christmas break :).... but current NP_CreateUpdateUsers subroutine can be easily tweaked by you to use PUT method to update user record:

also have a look at other subroutines how to change method from POST to PUT using POST connection and HTTPHEADER "X-HTTP-Method-Override" "PUT"
