  • sendInvitation=[true|false] default is true
    If sendInvitation is false, cardholders will not receive an email invitation.
    If sendInvitation is true (or not specified), the user's password will be reset, all previous login links will be deprovisioned, and an email invitation will be sent to the cardholder.
  • allowUpdate=[true|false] default is false
    If allowUpdate is true and CloudCard finds a person with the same email address or identifier, CloudCard will update the person with the information contained in this request.
  • getLoginLink=[true|false] default is false
    If getLoginLink is true, the user's password will be reset, all previous login links will be deprovisioned, and a new link will be returned in the response.

Excerpt

One frequent use case for this endpoint is to create and retrieve login links for a user, so they can be forwarded directly to CloudCard from another application witthout having to login again.  This is described on the Single Sign-On page.  This process works equally well for new or existing users.

Process

  1. Gather necessary information, (i.e. email, identifier, custom field values).

  2. Submit the following request

    Code Block
    languagejs
    title.../api/people?allowUpdate=true&getLoginLink=true
    // for a new cardholder or if you're not sure if it's a new cardholder, send all the cardholder's information
{
	"email": "jack.sparrow@pirates.com",
	"identifier": "180214-01",
	"customFields": {...}
}

// for an existing cardholder, you only need to send email or identifier
{ "identifier": "123456" }



    Code Block
    titleExample Response (w/ getLoginLink=true)
    201 created or 200 OK
{ 
   "accountExpired":false,
   "accountLocked":false,
   "activatedDate":null,
   "authorities":[...],
   "currentPhoto":null,
   "customFields":{...},
   "dateTermsAccepted":null,
   "domainClass":"com.campuscardtools.myphotoid.Person",
   "email":"john.doe@foo.edu",
   "enabled":true,
   "id":123,
   "identifier":"ABC123",
   "latestPhoto": null,
    "links": {
        "login": "https://app.onlinephotosubmission.com/#/login?access_token=lotsOfRandomLettersAndNumbersLotsOfRandomLettersAndNumbers"
    },
   "organization":{ ... },
   "passwordExpired":false,
   "passwordResetRequired":false,
   "readOnly":false,
   "username":"john.doe@foo.edu"
}



    Note

    allowUpdate must be true if you are using this with an existing cardholder because getting a new login link resets the cardholder's password, invalidates all old login links, and creates a new login link for the cardholder. 

    Any other fields in the request body will update the corresponding values for the cardholder.



  3. Forward the user or display a link to the URL specified in the login.link field.
