How to change the User License Type using REST API?

Thomas_Z2

How can I change the User License Type using the REST API? I searched unsuccessful for an endpoint, I suspect there should be something similar like these endpoints:

Thank you @JohnPlunkett but I was looking for this:

/portals/self/updateUserLicenseType

and it looks like it exists but it is undocumented.

Here my findings in case someone else has a similar use case:

Hi Marc,

thanks for the speedy reply - much appreciated. I'll give it a try, but I'm actually starting to think I may need to update the portal, from 10.7.x I can't see the /updateUserLicenseType method on the /arcgis/sharing/rest/portals/self endpoint. Can you please confirm this, if running a newer version of Portal?

thanks again

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

I have created a workflow in FME that allows users to "check out" or "return" a license without having to ask an administrator. The workflow requires us to update the role and the license type in two steps. there are two options - if the user checks out a license I set their named user to fieldWorkerUT and the corresponding custom role and if the user returns a license I set them to viewerUT and the corresponding custom viewer role.

First update License Type:

Request URL: $(arcgis_portal_url)/$(arcgis_portal_webadaptor_context)/sharing/rest/portals/0123456789ABCDEF/updateUserLicenseType

Method: POST

Parameters:

token: token
users: $(portal_username)
f: pjson
userLicenseType: $(new_user_type)

new_user_type = fieldWorkerUT or viewerUT

Second update User Role:

URL: $(arcgis_portal_url)/$(arcgis_portal_webadaptor_context)/sharing/rest/portals/0123456789ABCDEF/updateUserRole

Method: POST

Parameters:

token: token
users: $(portal_username)
f: pjson
role: $(new_role)

new_role = 7Wqt2kdDEMSska9w or 3Fg8KwpdZknhNZE6 depending upon which one matches the license type that was selected first.

I hope this helps,

Marc

Hi there @Thomas_Z2

I saw your posting on the updateUserLicenseType Rest API call, and was wondering if you would mind sharing a code snippet of sorts to help me out here. I've been trying to find the way to update a user on the fly via the back-end, and this seems to be the way to do it - and as you've mentioned, Esri have not really documented anything about it!
