Adding Users to a Role

Description

You are able to add users to the role while creating a new role. At the point of creating a new role defining the users to a role is optional, therefore you are able to update the users that belong to a given role after you have created a role using the REST API given below.

URL /mdm-admin/roles/users?rolename={rolename}

HTTP Method PUT

Request/Response Format application/json

cURL command

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <EMM_API_TOKEN>" -d @'<JSON_PAYLOAD>' -k -v https://<EMM_HOST>:<EMM_HTTPS_PORT>/mdm-admin/roles/users?rolename={rolename}

For more information on how to generate the <EMM_API_TOKEN>, see Generating the EMM API Token.
Define the path to the JSON file, which includes the required properties to update the role as the <JSON_PAYLOAD> value. For more information, see the Sample JSON Definition.
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 the name of the role you wish to update as the value for {rolename}.

Example:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer 33392fb365b3ac693b405b565ddc8a3a" -d @'role.json' -k -v https://localhost:9443/mdm-admin/roles/users?rolename=engineer
