Enabling the backup service for a user in a customer tenant
For this tutorial, you must have a partner tenant with:
The backup service enabled.
The Workstations and Backup storage offering items enabled.
An activated administrator account. This account will be used to perform the operations in the tenant via the API.
In this tutorial, we will:
Create a customer tenant in the partner tenant using the
POST /tenants
endpoint.Enable the Workstations and Backup storage offering items for the new customer tenant using the
GET /tenants/{partner_id}/offering_items/available_for_child
andPUT /tenants/{customer_id}/offering_items
endpoints.Note
This will automatically enable the backup service for the tenant.
Create a user account in the new customer tenant using the
GET /users/check_login
andPOST /users
endpoints.Assign the Backup User role to the new user account using the
PUT /users/{user_id}/access_policies
endpoint.Note
This will automatically enable the backup service with the Workstations and Backup storage offering items for the account, and will also set the same quotas for the account as the ones set for the tenant.
Activate the new account by setting its password using the
POST /users/{user_id}/password
endpoint.
To enable the backup service for a user in a customer tenant
Authenticate and set up partner tenant variable
Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.
The following variables should be available now:
>>> base_url # the base URL of the API '<the data center URL>/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'
Define a variable named
partner_id
, and then assign the universally unique identifier (UUID) of your partner tenant to this variable:>>> partner_id = tenant_id >>> partner_id 'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
Create a customer tenant in the partner tenant
Define a variable named
customer
, and then assign an object containing the minimum information about the customer tenant to this variable:>>> customer = { ... 'name': 'Customer, Inc', ... 'kind': 'customer', ... 'parent_id': partner_id, ... }
Name
Value type
Required
Description
name
string
Yes
A tenant name.
kind
string
Yes
A tenant type.
parent_id
UUID string
Yes
The UUID of a tenant where this tenant will be created.
Convert the
customer
object to a JSON text:>>> customer = json.dumps(customer, indent=4) >>> print(customer) { "name": "Customer, Inc", "kind": "customer", "parent_id": "ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae" }
Send a POST request with the JSON text to the
/tenants
endpoint:>>> response = requests.post( ... f'{base_url}/tenants', ... headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth}, ... data=customer, ... )
Check the status code of the response:
>>> response.status_code 201
Status code 201 means that the platform has created the customer tenant in the trial mode.
Note
A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.
Also, the response body contains the tenant information, formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look like this:
>>> pprint.pprint(response.json()) {'ancestral_access': True, 'brand_id': 3579, 'brand_uuid": "14dc11ca-2b16-43bb-8ba4-2a3545c214a0', 'contact': {...}, 'customer_id': None, 'customer_type': 'default', 'default_idp_id': '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111', 'enabled': True, 'has_children': False, 'id': '95303d96-628c-4265-9afa-07bee3fccf39', 'internal_tag': None, 'kind': 'customer', 'language': 'en', 'name': 'Customer, Inc', 'owner_id': None, 'parent_id': 'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae', 'update_lock': {'enabled': False, 'owner_id': None}, 'version': 1}
Define a variable named
customer_id
, and then assign the UUID of the created tenant to this variable:>>> customer_id = response.json()['id'] >>> customer_id '95303d96-628c-4265-9afa-07bee3fccf39'
Note
For more information about how the API represents tenants and what operations are available for them, see Managing tenants.
Enable offering items for the customer tenant
Fetch the list of offering items available for customer tenants of the partner tenant by sending a GET request to the
/tenants/{partner_id}/offering_items/available_for_child
endpoint. The endpoint URL should contain akind
query parameter set tocustomer
:>>> response = requests.get( ... f'{base_url}/tenants/{partner_id}/offering_items/available_for_child', ... headers=auth, ... params={'kind': 'customer'}, ... )
Check the status code of the response:
>>> response.status_code 200
Status code 200 means that the response body text contains an encoded JSON object consisting of the
items
member. Theitems
member is an array of objects of offering items that can be enabled for customer tenants. If no items can be enabled, this array is empty.Note
A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.
Also, the response body contains the tenant information, formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look like this:
Convert the JSON text to an object, and then store the value of the object
items
key in a variable namedoffering_items
:>>> offering_items = response.json()['items'] >>> pprint.pprint(offering_items) [{'application_id': '6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb0dff12eb', 'infra_id': '019097a6-114f-4418-bd54-e01ef049f209', 'locked': False, 'measurement_unit': 'bytes', 'name': 'storage', 'quota': {'overage': None, 'value': None, 'version': 0}, 'status': 1, 'type': 'infra'}, {'application_id': '6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb0dff12eb', 'locked': False, 'measurement_unit': 'quantity', 'name': 'workstations', 'quota': {'overage': None, 'value': None, 'version': 0}, 'status': 1, 'type': 'count'}, ...]
In this list, find the objects where the value of the
name
key is eitherworkstations
(the Workstations offering item) orstorage
(the Backup storage offering item) and store them in the followingitems
object:>>> item_names = {'workstations', 'storage'} >>> items_to_enable = [item for item in offering_items if item['name'] in item_names] >>> items = {'offering_items': items_to_enable}
Convert the
items
object to a JSON text:>>> items = json.dumps(items, indent=4)
Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the
/tenants/{customer_id}/offering_items
endpoint:>>> response = requests.put( ... f'{base_url}/tenants/{customer_id}/offering_items', ... headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth}, ... data=items, ... )
Check the status code of the response:
>>> response.status_code 200
Status code 200 means that the platform has enabled the backup service with the specified offering items for the tenant.
Note
A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.
Note
Create a user account in the customer tenant
Define a variable named
user_login
, and then assign the login for a new user account to this variable:>>> user_login = 'RichardDoe'
Check if this login is available in the platform. To do this, send a GET request to the
/users/check_login
endpoint. The endpoint URL should contain ausername
query parameter set to the login:>>> response = requests.get( ... f'{base_url}/users/check_login', ... headers=auth, ... params={'username': user_login}, ... )
Check the status code of the response:
>>> response.status_code 204
Status code 204 means that the login is not taken by any other account registered in the platform.
Note
A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.
Define a variable named
account
, and then assign an object containing the minimum information about the user account to this variable:>>> account = { ... 'tenant_id': customer_id, ... 'login': user_login, ... 'contact': { ... 'email': 'richard.doe@example.com', ... 'firstname': 'Richard', ... 'lastname': 'Doe', ... }, ... }

Check the status code of the response:
