Checking activation status

To check a user account activation status

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 GET request to the /users/{user_id} endpoint:

>>> response = requests.get(f'{base_url}/users/{user_id}', headers=auth)

Check the status code of the response:

>>> response.status_code
200

Status code 200 means that the request was successful.

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 user account information, formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look like this:

>>> 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': True,
 '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': 1}

If the activated attribute is True, the user account has been successfully activated.

Now in order to let the user log in to specific service(s), the necessary role(s) must be assigned.
