Introduction

The Tenant Management API provides endpoints provided by the TENANT-MANAGEMENT service offers endpoints for user management via Keycloak. In order to scale the identity management, the KEYCLOAK-PROXY service can be used for the connection of multiple Keycloak instances. The endpoints of the Tenant Management API are called by the MANAGEMENT-CONSOLE, MANAGEMENT-CONSOLE-CLIENT and ARCHITECT services.

This article describes the handling and representation formats of data for individual user accounts as retrieved and expected by the Tenant Management Endpoints.

Further functionality is provided by our USERSERVICE.

User Management Endpoints

All endpoints for user management via the Tenant Management API are available via the Swagger UI: https://<host>/tenant-management/swagger-ui.html. Some of them require an administrative role.

The POST and PUT endpoints allow for the deactivation of users. In object histories, the user names of deactivated users are still displayed. In the client framework components, these user names are still reserved by the Web-API Gateway as the users still exist in the corresponding tenant. In order to reuse the user name of a deactivated user for a new user, you may append -disabled to the original user name. Thus, the deactivated user can still be identified in the object history and the user name can be reused at the same time.

User Account Data Sets

For each user account represented in a request or response body, its properties are specified in JSON format. The order of the individual properties within one data set is arbitrary.

The following code block shows an example for a result list including the data sets of several user accounts. Such result list can be retrieved, e.g., by the GET /tenant-management/api/idm/users endpoint.

Graphical User Interfaces

yuuvis® architect

The User management view of yuuvis® architect provides a graphical interface for administrative users allowing them to manage users belonging to their tenant. Individual users can be edited or deleted, and users can be added. New users will be invited via e-mail to set up their passwords.

yuuvis® management console

User Settings Management

The USERSERVICE manages user-related data and provides CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations on it. Its endpoints are provided in a separate API.
>> User Settings Endpoints

Summary

For the user management of users via Tenant Management API, the data sets of individual user accounts are handled in JSON format with the above described properties and their corresponding values. For further functionality regarding account-specific content files and personal settings, we provide the USERSERVICE.
