topic Using QRS to add a user to a stream in Management & Governance

Using QRS to add a user to a stream

Thu, 16 Jul 2015 14:55:52 GMT

Hey everyone,

hope you can help with this?

I'm using QRS API calls to import users, create streams, import, publish and reload apps - most of which has been pretty logical and has been achieved.

However, I'm struggling how to link the user to the stream?

I assume the {appendPrivileges} parameters has to be used in some way, but I'm not sure in which command you utilise that?

Should I be adding the users when I create the stream, as part of the /qrs/add/streamname command?

Should I add the stream, then grab the ID of the stream and associate the users - if so, what command should I use?

Or is there another command that I should be looking at?

If anyone has some examples that they would be willing to share to demonstrate how to achieve this, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

You create the stream first, then add a security rule to allow certain users certain access to the stream using POST to /qrs/systemrule. For example, the following system rule grants all users that belong to "YOUR-DIR" user directory the Read and Publish (2+32=34) rights to "YOUR-STREAM" stream with id a70ca8a5-1d59-4cc9-b5fa-6e207978dcaf. Compare this to creating security rules for the stream in QMC.

{
  "category": "Security",
  "type": "Custom",
  "name": "Security rule for access to \"YOUR-STREAM\"",
  "rule": "((user.userDirectory=\"YOUR-DIR\"))",
  "resourceFilter": "Stream_a70ca8a5-1d59-4cc9-b5fa-6e207978dcaf",
  "actions": 34,
  "comment": "User conditions for stream access",
  "disabled": false,
  "ruleContext": 0
}

The "actions" property should be a sum of the values of the actions you want the rule to allow based on the following definitions:

None	0
Create	1
Read	2
Update	4
Delete	8
Export	16
Publish	32
ChangeOwner	64
ChangeRole	128
ExportData	256

The "ruleContext" property should be one of the following:

BothQlikSenseAndQMC	0
QlikSenseOnly	1
QMCOnly	2
