Sending an activation email

Important

The platform enforces the following rules for the /users/{user_id}/send-activation-email endpoint:

Only API clients can access this endpoint.
An activation email can be sent only to user accounts located in sub-tenants.

To send an activiation email

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'

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'
```

Send a POST request to the /users/{user_id}/send-activation-email endpoint:

>>> response = requests.post(f'{base_url}/users/{user_id}/send-activation-email', headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth})

The /users/{user_id}/send-activation-email requires empty JSON body.

Check the status code of the response:
```
>>> response.status_code
204
```
Status code 204 means that an email message with the activation link has been sent.

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.
