QRS API - updating users custom properties
Hello,
I have defined a custom property "Department" and associated to apps/users for access control. I would like to automate the process of going to QMC and manually setting the "Department" values for each user. I believe this should be possible using QRS API but as I don't have much experience with the API am not sure how to do this.
I am using Postman and managed to retrieve the details of a given user as well as the custom properties associated:
Request
GET /qrs/user/2e04436f-a71a-45c5-999c-793a00ba6a77/?Xrfkey=ABCDEFG123456789 HTTP/1.1
Host: myserver
X-Qlik-Xrfkey: ABCDEFG123456789
Response
In this case User 1 is associated to Finance and Sales, now let's say I wanted to move it to Executive and Sales. Can I just update the value of "Finance" to "Executive"? I have tried sending a PUT request like below but it doesn't work (it gives a 409 Conflict error message). Does anybody know why?
PUT /qrs/user/2e04436f-a71a-45c5-999c-793a00ba6a77?Xrfkey=ABCDEFG123456789 HTTP/1.1
Host: myserver
X-Qlik-Xrfkey: ABCDEFG123456789
Content-Type: application/json
{
"id": "2e04436f-a71a-45c5-999c-793a00ba6a77",
"customProperties": [
{
"id": "fb5e68ec-d382-4bd1-b9f3-81c5a5f1b3e1",
"value": "Executive"
}
]
}
Thanks in advance,
Cesar

Hello Cesar,
I have been wrestling with the same problem for days. Your approach gave me great hints!
I think basically if we need to do any POST requests with QRS API, we need the modifiedDate field in the data model.
Thanks a lot!

hey guys, great discussion.
I created a little example to help others
```
export function createCustomProperty(name, choiceValues = ['no values initialized']) {
var customProperty = {
"name": name,
"valueType": "Text",
"objectTypes": ["App", "ContentLibrary", "DataConnection", "ReloadTask", "Stream", "User"],
"choiceValues": choiceValues
}
var result = qrs.post('/qrs/CustomPropertyDefinition', null, customProperty)
console.log('result of create custom property: ', result)
result.name = 'UpdatedName';
var result = qrs.put('/qrs/CustomPropertyDefinition/' + result.id, null, result)
console.log('result after update', result)
}
```
PS: You can find a lot of API documentation in the slide generator on http://integration.qlik.com/slides

Hey Cesar,
Can we fetch User wise assigned custom properties from Qliksense Server using QRS API?
You can look into this which I have posted:
Custom Properties for Users using QRS API's
Pls Suggest.

I am getting either a 409 or a 400 exception when I run the following PUT command. I mainly get a "Received error code: 400::The "GetAllByMany" operation failed" error.
What is weird is I get a response with the apps data when I comment out the customProperties attribute. When i add in the customproperties attribute and json, i get the error.
Put('/app/' + appId, { "modifiedDate": lastModifiedDate, "modifiedByUserName": "instance////un", "customProperties": [ { "modifiedDate": lastModifiedDate, "modifiedByUserName": "instance////un", "value": 'Node C' } ] }, 'json'
