User Provisioning API - SAP Analytics cloud

former_member646700 — Fri, 09 Oct 2020 07:53:46 GMT

Hi,

If we are deleting the user id through an API call (SCIM), then how the content of the user's private/public folder will be managed?

When we delete the user id manually from security->Users, it is prompting us to transfer the private/public folder content to an another user. How this can be managed while deleting through an API?

Also, Is that possible to delete multiple users in a single 'delete request'?

Thanks,

Nivetha

Hi Nivetha,

Great question. I checked this option a while ago and a delete statement at that time was not supported for the API. I see now that is has been added but no parameters which you ask for are documented here. Have you tried deleting a user that has not created any content? Does that work? I'm curious to learn because this could be useful creating automatic clean-up scripts.

Kind regards,

Hi Martijin,

Yes it works.

I even tried deleting the user id which has some content. It is just deleting the user id and its content as well.

I already referred the link that you have provided. But it doesn't talk about the user content.

Also, can we delete multiple users at the same time?

Thanks,

Nivetha

Hi Nivetha,

Could it be that the content, by default, is transferred to the System Owner? Or is it actually deleted because that would, in some scenarios, not be what should happen? Let me send an email to our SAP contact and ask if I can get in touch with a developer responsible for this functionality. Will share the outcome here!

Kind regards,

Thank you so much Martijin as always 🙂

I just checked and found out that the content from the deleted user id hasn't moved to system owner's account.

I feel that it just got deleted when i deleted the user id.

Waiting for your reply!

Thanks,

Nivetha

Yep, well exactly as foekenm saying this is a missing feature currently. Mechanism to transfer content to a preferred user (exactly as the UI flow does) is part of Dev's backlog, but without any future plans.

Hi fodor.mark , was there any updates about this missing feature?

I have seen in another page, that the deleted user content would go to an admin user per default - I haven't tried myself though.

Thanks
