RestAPI - Add userGroup members not working

Jools86 — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 16:24:46 GMT

I have previously posted this, and you told me to use a string value instead of an array. This also does not work, and I had already tried this before raising this case.

Using the following POST method via PowerShell:

https://localhost/api/v5/userGroupMemberships/{userGroupId}/addMembers

I set the body as

$UPN=@()
$UPN+="Julian.Loveday@mydomain.com"

#// Add to User Group
$Body = @{
'UserName'=$UPN
}
$JSON=$Body | ConvertTo-Json
$UserGroup=Invoke-RestMethod "https://ema.mydomain.com/api/latest/userGroupMemberships/$EMAUserGroupId/addMembers" -Headers $headers -Body $JSON -Method Post

however I see this error every time:

I tried changing to

$UserGroup=Invoke-RestMethod "https://ema.mlp.com/api/latest/userGroupMemberships/$($EMAUserGroupId)/addMembers" -Headers $headers -Body $JSON -Method Post

and even changing to

$UserGroup=Invoke-RestMethod "https://ema.mlp.com/api/latest/userGroupMemberships/1/addMembers" -Headers $headers -Body $JSON -Method Post

Could you either:

a) Confirm there is a BUG in the RestAPI for adding members

or b) Send me an example if I am getting the syntax wrong.

As an FYI, token generates fine (code to generate headers below) - and I can run most other RestAPI queries using the below, its this specific one (https://localhost/api/v5/userGroupMemberships/{userGroupId}/addMembers) that is broken.

#// Generate token to be passed for authorization with each RestAPI request
$Token=Invoke-RestMethod "https://mydomain.mlp.com/api/latest/accessTokens/getUsingWindowsCredentials" -Credential $Cred

#// Generate header including token for each API request
$headers = @{
'authorization' = "bearer $($Token.access_token)"
}

If I change the BODY to not use an array, but just a string value it fails as well:

$UPN="Julian.Loveday@mydomain.com"

There is definitely something wrong with this API call.

Hello Jools86,

Thank you so much for your patience.

At this time, based on the environment that you are currently experiencing this situation on our strongest recommendation is to update EMA to version 1.10.

Hi Victor, I was locked out of forum since SAML change.

I will update to 1.10 after easter and feed back to the forum.

Fix was as follows:

The bit in bold to format the body as an array fixed the issue - thanks to Josh.

========================================

$UPN=@()
$UPN+="Julian.Loveday@mydomain.com"

#// Add to User Group
$Body = @{
'UserName'=$UPN
}
$Body=$Body | ConvertTo-Json

$JSON=Convert-ToJson -inputobject @($Body)

$UserGroup=Invoke-RestMethod "https://ema.mydomain.com/api/latest/userGroupMemberships/$EMAUserGroupId/addMembers" -Headers $headers -Body $JSON -Method Post

=========================================
