How to use arcpy to get a list of Portal users

Anonymous User — Mon, 19 Oct 2015 12:02:44 GMT

Hi all

Does anyone know of a way to use arcpy to obtain a list of the current users in a Portal?

I'm trying to set up a python script that reconciles versioned datasets each night, and instead of hardcoding the usernames to search for in the versions I would prefer that the script got the list of current users directly from Portal.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

-Paul

Get portalpy from esri/github.

There is a portal.get_org_users() method to the portal object.

And a bunch of other useful portal functions

Thanks Neil

That's exactly what I needed - didn't know it existed but after a quick look I can see it becoming very useful.

Using the ArcGIS API for Python:

from arcgis.gis import GIS
# replace the your URL, your username and your password with the relevant 
# information for your organization
# you must use an admin account to generate users

gis = GIS("https://<your URL> /portal", "<your username>","<your password>")
users = gis.users.search("*")
for i in users:
    print(i.username, " " , i.email)
    # see https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.toc.html#user
    # for other things you can print out for each user
    # see https://developers.arcgis.com/python/api-reference/arcgis.gis.toc.html#usermanager
    # for ways to search and sort users
