Excerpt
Description

You will have 100+ users registered with WSO2 EMM. If you want to retrieve the user details of a specific user and you only remember the users email address, you are able to retrieve the user details using the REST API given below.

Resource Path/users-by-username
URL/mdm-admin/users/view-users?username={username}
HTTP MethodGET
Request/Response Formatapplication/json
cURL command
Code Block
curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <EMM_API_TOKEN>" -k -v https://<EMM_HOST>:<EMM_HTTPS_PORT>/mdm-admin/users/users-by-username?username={username}
  • For more information on how to generate the <EMM_API_TOKEN>, see Generating the EMM API Token.
  • By default, <EMM_HOST> is localhost. However, if you are using a public IP, the respective IP address or domain needs to be specified.
  • By default, <EMM_HTTPS_PORT> has been set to 9443. However, if the port offset has been incremented by n, the default port value needs to be incremented by n.
  • Provide any user detail of the user as the value for {username} to retrieve the user details, such as email address, first name or last name.

Example:

Code Block
curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer 33392fb365b3ac693b405b565ddc8a3a" -k -v https://localhost:9443/mdm-admin/users/users-by-username?username=kim@gmail.com
