Provisioning: user API

Users API

Introduction

This document details the end points related to the users management of the OBM provisioning system.

The default exchange format is JSON.

Naming

In this document we take /provisioning/{apiVersion}/{domainUUID} as the base URI of REST end points. This path will be called {baseURI} in the rest of the document. The notation {serverBaseURL} represents the root URL of the REST server, e.g.: http://1.2.3.4:8080/ The notation {batchId} represents a unique batch identifier The notation {userId} represents a unique user identifier The notation {apiVersion} represents a string linking to the version of the API that the client want to use (e.g.: "v1") The notation {domainUUID} represents the universally unique identifier of the domain we're currently working on

Data types and structures
