How to create custom user using the REST API? - graphdb

Question

I am using GraphDB free edition.
I wanted to create a user via REST API and found in the documentation that /rest/security/user/** could be used to create a user.
But what is ** in api endpoint and also how to create a user using the above endpoint? What should be the parameters and body for the POST request?

Answer 1

You could create user using GraphDB REST API using following cURL request:
curl 'http://localhost:7201/rest/security/user/username' -H 'Origin:
http://localhost:7201' -H 'Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br' -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.9' -H 'Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8' -H
'Accept: application/json, text/plain, */*' -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' -H 'Referer: http://localhost:7201/user/create' -H 'X-GraphDB-Repository:
repository name' -H 'X-GraphDB-Password: user password' -H 'DNT: 1' --data-binary '{"appSettings":
{"DEFAULT_SAMEAS":true,"DEFAULT_INFERENCE":true,"EXECUTE_COUNT":true,"IGNORE_SHARED_QUERIES":false},"grantedAuthorities":
["ROLE_USER","WRITE_REPO_*","READ_REPO_*"]}' --compressed

You should add -u admin username:password or send for example http://localhost:port number/rest/login POST request with "Content-Type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8", "Accept", "application/json" with JSONObject with registered admin user - username and password and will get header "Authorization" as result token generated for user and you should attach it like: 'Authorization: returned authorization header'.
