Description

If you wish to get the details of the devices enrolled by a specific user, you can do so using the REST API given below.

URL/mdm-admin/users/devices?username={username}
HTTP MethodGET
Request/Response Formatapplication/json
cURL command
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/view?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 the name of the user you wish to get the details as the value for {username}. If you are unsure of the exact user name, run the REST API command to retrieve all the user details to find out the username.

Example:

curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer 33392fb365b3ac693b405b565ddc8a3a" -k -v https://localhost:9443/mdm-admin/users/view?username=kim

You can filter the device details further, using the query parameters given below:

  • start - Provide the starting pagination index. Example 10

    A user will have many devices enrolled with the EMM. In a situation where you wish to view the all the registered devices it is not feasible to show all the details on one page therefore the details are paginated.

  • length - Provide how many device details you require from the starting pagination index. For example if you require the device details from the 10th pagination index to the 15th, you must define 10 as the value for start and 5 as the value for length.

    If you wish to get the device details within a predefined index range you need to define both the  start  and  length  fields.
    Example:  https://localhost:9443/mdm-admin/devices?start=10&length=5
    There will be situations were you will not have device details in the specified index range. In such situation all the details of the devices registered to the specified user is given.

Example:

curl -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer 33392fb365b3ac693b405b565ddc8a3a" -k -v https://localhost:9443/mdm-admin/users/view?username=kim&start=1&length=3
