Retrieve UserInformation using user-service.

[nathangarner]

Hi All,

I'm trying to retrieve Users or UserInformation entities (assignProfileID in particular) of a external user with user-service. Need to filter based on externalpersonID or tragetUserID.

GET /learning/odatav4/public/admin/user-service/v2/UserInformation?$filter=
(Error: 404 "Cannot find EntitySet, Singleton, ActionImport or FunctionImport with name 'UserInformation'.")

GET /learning/odatav4/public/admin/user-service/v2/Users?$filter=
(Error: 501 "Sorry, this operation is not supported yet.")

How do I retrieve the complete user information based on any one service above?

Is there any alternative way to obtain assignProfileID of a user ?

Hello,
I'm not familiar with this service, just wanted to mention:
If the service doesn't support filtering, you can still do the filtering manually (programmatically) in your client app.
Of course, not good solution, just to unblock you.

Thanks,

Carlos

Hi,
Thanks for your input.
Im testing these services through postman, it would be really helpful if you elaborate "filtering manually (programmatically) in your client app."

Thanks.

Hello Nathan, sorry for misleading answer. It is relevant only if you'd be calling the service programmatically from application code.

If you're executing the request with a tool like postman, situation is different.
Maybe you can do the request without filter, then copy the full payload into a JSON-viewer tool.
I've seen that the JSON viewer for Firefox supports filtering, but I've never tried.

Kind Regards,
Carlos
