Does anyone have any experience using the AccountServices API?

#1

Hi,

I’m trying to create a dashboard that would have the list of users and then update their information from there?

If you have any experience on this, could you share a sample script on how this could be implemented?

Regards,
Renzi

Not sure exactly what you’re trying to do…

Here’s a script that goes through all the users in a given group and changes one of the account permissions for each.

//Sets the 'Can Change Password' checkbox for all users associated with a particular group

groupID = "????????????????";     ///Set the GUID of the group of accounts you want to update

var groupService = dundas.context.getService("GroupService");
var accountService = dundas.context.getService('AccountService');
groupService.groupMembers(groupID, true).done(function (member)
{
	member[0].forEach(function (accId)
	{
		accountService.getAccountById(accId.id).done(function (account)
		{
			account.canChangePassword = true;
			accountService.updateAccount(account);
		}
		)
	}
	)
}
)

@david.glickman, yes that is somehow what I want to do. Also, update any info related to the account like Display name, email, etc. But the sample script you posted is a great help in pointing me to the right direction.

The main steps are

  1. Get the account service
  2. Get the account
  3. Change something in the account you have
  4. Update the account
