4Getting Details of a User

Description

If you wish to get the details of a specific user that is registered with WSO2 EMM, you can do so using the REST API.

Resource Path /

URL /mdm-admin/users/view?username={username}

HTTP Method GET

Request/Response Format application/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 of 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
