Repository Service: DELETE /qrs/user/{id} returns 405 error

[millnet-maho]

Has anyone managed to use the QRS REST API to delete a user? Or GET one, for that matter? I've managed to look up a specific user by userDirectory and userId via a filter parameter, but DELETE /qrs/user/{id}, where {id} is the UUID in the id property of the returned user object, returns 405, and GET /qrs/user/{id} returns 404. According to the API reference, those methods should be possible and I am using the right id, aren't I?

(I'm exploring managing the user directories without setting up User Directory Connectors.)

The 405 is very odd to the DELETE command. But it's also odd that you get a 404 for the GET command.

Expected:

• GET /qrs/user/{id}
  • Response: 200 with the body being the user's record
• DELETE /qrs/user/{id}
  • Response: 204

If you can't do a GET then a DELETE will obviously fail. How are you getting the user's ID?

GET to /qrs/user?filter=...&Xrfkey=...

I get [{"id":"ae862dd0-da37-4e36-92bb-819843d01bc1","userId":"1","userDirectory":"MAHO-DEV","name":"Test Person","privileges":null}] back, and I assume that ae862dd0-da37-4e36-92bb-819843d01bc1 is the id to append to the path to DELETE that user. If the above GET works, I shouldn't have to add any additional X-Qlik headers for DELETE to work, should I? I'm not trying to delete an internal user or a user from the local Windows domain or anything either. I tried deleting the UDC but that didn't help.

Correct. That's the ID for the user.

Nope. Standard headers

Sorry, I realised that I had dropped "/qrs" from the path in the DELETE while figuring out what headers are needed and what the id is. I had included it earlier. I got it to work now.
