• Here's a basic request to create a new Yellowfin user:
  
  

  Code Block
  language java
  AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest(); rsr.setLoginId("admin@yellowfin.com.au"); rsr.setPassword("test"); rsr.setOrgId(1); rsr.setFunction("ADDUSER");

• If you need to create a new user in a specific client organization, add this to your code
  
  

  Code Block
  language java
  rsr.setOrgRef("org1"); // A new user will be added to the client org with "org1" as an organization reference ID

  
  If you do not define the orgRef parameter, the new user will be created in the default (primary) organization.
  
  

• The ADDUSER function requires AdministrationPerson object where you define the new Yellowfin user details:
  
  

  Code Block
  language java
  AdministrationPerson ap = new AdministrationPerson();

• To create a new user, you need to fill these mandatory parameters: UserId, FirstName, LastName, RoleCode, Password, EmailAddress:
  
  

  Code Block
  language java
  ap.setUserId("john.smith@yellowfin.com.au"); // if Yellowfin authentication option is set to "email address" ap.setFirstName("John"); ap.setLastName("Smith"); ap.setRoleCode("YFREPORTCONSUMER"); // Yellowfin role codes can be found performing this query against // Yellowfin configuration database: SELECT * FROM OrgRole ap.setPassword("test"); // Password must comply with your Yellowfin password policy ap.setEmailAddress("john.smith@yellowfin.com.au");

  Other parameters of the AdministrationPerson object are optional.

• Pass the 'ap' object to the request:
  
  

  Code Block
  language java
  rsr.setPerson(ap);

• Once the request is configured, carry out the call:
  
  

  Code Block
  language java
  AdministrationServiceResponse rs = adminService.remoteAdministrationCall(rsr);
