Celum User Service

The Celum User Service extension provides a REST API to query users and groups. This extension supports all the important requests around users and groups, unlike the CELUM repository with which only supports querying users, groups and if a certain user is in a certain group (so to get all groups of a user, you have to check for each group if the user is a member of it, very bad time complexity).

Properties

To be configured in {home}/appserver/conf/custom.properties

celumUserService.license

type: string, required: yes, default: -

The license key for the plugin (product: camundaCore), provided by brix.

celumUserService.token

type: string, required: yes, default: _Celum123_

The security token to be used for the REST API.

Requests

The requests have to be sent to /celumUserService/.... The token has to be provided as query parameter for all the requests. E.g. http://localhost:8881/celumUserService/users?token=_Celum123_ to get all users or http://localhost:8881/celumUserService/usersInGroup?token=_Celum123_&groupId=489 to get all users in the group with id 489.

All the GET requests support the two following query parameters:

• offset: (default: 0), index of the first entry in the result (0-based)
• limit: (default: 200), page size (shouldn't be greater than 200)

The GET requests will either return a list of users or groups and the POST requests will just return an empty response with status 200 (OK) on success.
