how do i extract all users configured on controller

[v-vshantarenka]

i saw the post from 2014 [https://community.appdynamics.com/t5/Archive/Extract-list-of-controller-user/m-p/12815]  that configuratino is not exposing users through rest API

controller/rest/configuration

just wondering is anything got changed? 

i can see also i can add user through rest api, but again hwo do i list all ofthem ? 

https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO42/Configuration+API

{code}

Create and Modify AppDynamics Users

Creates or modifies user accounts in the Controller.

You pass the user configuration settings as query parameters to the API call. The format of the create and modify user calls are identical except for the user-id parameter, which is not passed for the create operation. The user-id is generated by the create operation. 

Format

POST /controller/rest/users

{/code}

thanks!

Hi,

Could you please go through the below swagger api and let us know if it helps. You can extract the list of users from here. Attached screenshot for reference.

Please refer below document for more information.

so i got the redirection and used the direct SWAG json

api-docs/accounts.json

that works.

 but all API listed doesn't provide the possiblity to read all accounts. 

ANy API requires either specific single user ID.

so, there is no way to get all users list :(

i was able to get the Users by searching teh AccountID

 NOTE HERE  -- Account ID is the number in the internal AppDynamics base that correlated to the  account name

 very very undescriptive. :(

I doubt that. As if the appdynamics web app can list the users, there must be an Api, documented or not, that gets the details. I'll investigate and post back with what I find.

Hi 

Do you see any error while accessing the swagger api on the browser? Swagger API should work for all the controllers. Are you having admin rights on the controller?

Thanks
