Disabling/enabling a user account

  1. Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.

    The following variables should be available now:

    >>> base_url  # the base URL of the API
    'https://eu2-cloud.acronis.com/api/2'
    >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
    {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
    >>> tenant_id  # the UUID of the tenant to which the token provides access
    'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
    
  2. Assign the user_id variable the UUID of a user account created via the API or a user account found via search:

    >>> user_id = created_user_id
    >>> user_id
    '1c234e69-5469-424a-a6d1-ff5658b387a6'
    
  3. Fetch the revision number of the user account as described in the chapters above. The following variable should be available now:

    >>> version
    1
    
  4. Define a variable named user_data, and then assign the user account status to update to this variable:

    >>> user_data = {
    ...     "enabled": False,
    ...     "version": version
    ... }
    

    Name

    Value type

    Required

    Description

    enabled

    boolean

    No

    Flag, that disables or enables user account in the platform.

    version

    number

    Yes

    Revision number.

  5. Convert the user_data object to a JSON text:

    >>> user_data = json.dumps(user_data, indent=4)
    
  6. Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the /users/{user_id} endpoint:

    >>> response = requests.put(
    ...     f'{base_url}/users/{user_id}',
    ...     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth},
    ...     data=user_data,
    ... )
    
  7. Check the status code of the response:

    >>> response.status_code
    200
    

    Status code 200 means that the user account status has been successfully updated.

    A different status code means that an error has occurred. For the details, refer to “Status and error codes”.

    Also, the response body contains the user account information formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look as follows:

    >>> pprint.pprint(response.json())
    {'activated': True,
     'business_types': [],
     'contact': {'address1': '',
                 'address2': '',
                 'city': '',
                 'country': '',
                 'email': 'johndoe@mysite.com',
                 'firstname': 'John',
                 'lastname': 'Doe',
                 'phone': '',
                 'state': '',
                 'zipcode': ''},
     'created_at': '2019-07-25T07:11:02.807354+00:00',
     'enabled': False,
     'id': '1c234e69-5469-424a-a6d1-ff5658b387a6',
     'idp_id': '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111',
     'language': 'en',
     'login': 'JohnDoe',
     'mfa_status': 'disabled',
     'notifications': ['quota', 'reports', 'backup_daily_report'],
     'personal_tenant_id': None,
     'tenant_id': 'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae',
     'terms_accepted': False,
     'version': 2}
    

    The revision number increments with each update. Update the version variable if necessary.
