User API - not able to add users

, , ,
1

I am trying to use the User API to add users.
I have used it successfully for a long time, but it no longer works recently. I am wondering if something changed.

I am posting my code below.
Could you please review it to see if I am doing anything wrong?
Thank you.

var AddUsers = vaiUsers.Where(p => !kintoneUsers.Any(p2 => p2.employeeNumber == p.WdEmployeeId)).ToList();
var SUBDOMAIN = "example_subdomain";

List<object> NewUsers = new List<object>();

foreach (var item in AddUsers)
{
  NewUsers.Add(new
  {
    code = item.AdUserId.Trim().ToLower(),
    valid = true,
    password = newKintoneUserPassword,
    name = item.FirstName + " " + item.LastName,
    surName = item.LastName,
    givenName = item.FirstName,
    localNameLocale = "en",
    timezone = "America/New_York",
    locale = "en",
    email = item.EmailAddress.ToLower(),
    employeeNumber = item.WdEmployeeId,
    customItemValues = new List<CustomItemValue> { new CustomItemValue { code = "supervisor", value = (from k in kintoneUsers where k.employeeNumber == item.WdManagerId01 select k.id).FirstOrDefault() } }
  });

  string jsonUpdateUsers = "{\"users\":" + JsonConvert.SerializeObject(splitAddUserInKintone) + "}";

  using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
  {
    using (var request = new HttpRequestMessage(new HttpMethod("POST"), $"https://{SUBDOMAIN}.kintone.com/v1/users.json"))
    {
      byte[] toBeEncoded = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes("apiUser:" + apiUserPassword);

      var encoded2 = System.Convert.ToBase64String(toBeEncoded);

      request.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("X-Cybozu-Authorization", encoded2);

      request.Content = new StringContent(jsonUpdateUsers);
      request.Content.Headers.ContentType = MediaTypeHeaderValue.Parse("application/json");

      var response = await httpClient.SendAsync(request);
    }
  }
}

Recent Changes to User API?

The most "recent" changes made to the Kintone User API were back in May 2022.

The most recent changes to the Add Users API especially was back in March 2021.

Using Add Users API

I can confirm that the Add Users API is still working as expected. I was able to add a user to my Kintone App using the following API calls:

1. Add User

Add a 'test' user to my Kintone subdomain using the Add Users API.

const body = { users: [ { code: 'test', valid: true, password: 'password', name: 'test' } ] };
kintone.api( kintone.api.url('/v1/users', true), 'POST', body,
  function (resp) { console.log(resp); },
  function (error) { console.log(error); }
);

2. Update User Services

Note that once a user is added with this API, the Update User Services API needs to be used against this user for the user to have access to Kintone services.

const body = { users: [ { code: 'test', services: ['kintone'] } ] };
kintone.api( kintone.api.url('/v1/users/services', true), 'PUT', body,
  function (resp) { console.log(resp); },
  function (error) { console.log(error); }
);

3. Get User Services

To confirm that the user has been added to the Kintone subdomain, use the Get User Services API.

const body = { 'codes': ['test'] };
kintone.api(kintone.api.url('/v1/users/services', true), 'GET', body,
  function(resp) { console.log(resp.users); },
  function(error) { console.log(error); }
);

Common Errors

Here are some common errors that may be relevant:

Authentication

  • Verify the apiUser and apiUserPassword values.
  • Verify that the Basic Authentication header is correct.

JSON Serialization

  • Verify that the serialization process (JsonConvert.SerializeObject) works correctly.

Data Compatibility

  • Verify that the data types and structures used in the code match the actual data you are working with.
