Objects belonging to a user in a Primary or Client Organization can be retrieved by using the web service calls defined in this section. These calls are used to retrieve report or dashboard metadata (such as its their name, description, ID, etc.), which is then used to access the report/dashboard by sending links . Then links can be provided to access a selected report/dashboard via Yellowfin application (SSO and Session Options).

Retrieving Report Objects

...

 

These are the main parameters that you must set in the AdministrationClientOrg object for this web service call:

To identify an existing client organization to remove the user from.

 


Request Example

Below is a SOAP XML example for this request:

 

 

Response Parameters

The returned response will contain these parameters:

Expand
titleGETUSERREPORT

Retrieves report metadata for a specified report ID. Requires user Id and a report Id. User Id should be passed via AdministrationPerson object.

Keep in mind that each time when you edit a report, Yellowfin changes the report Id whereas the report UUID is always the same for the report. You can do GETIDFORUUID call to find out what id corresponds to the report UUID at that moment

This web service call is used to remove a specified user's access to a client organization. The user and the client org can be identified using the AdministrationPerson and AdministrationClientOrg objects, respectively.

This removed user account will remain in the system, even if that user doesn't belong to any other client organizations. To delete that user account from the system, you can use the DELETEUSER call. Or you could even add that user to the default organization by using the ADDUSERACCESS call.

titleStep-by-step instructions

  • Start with a basic request for this function, which includes logging in as the admin user and specifying the web service call to perform:

    Code Block
    languagejava
    AdministrationServiceRequest rsr = new AdministrationServiceRequest();

rsr.setPassword("test");
rsr.setOrgId(1);

rsr.setFunction("REMOVEUSERACCESS");

rsr.setClient(ac);

 

  • Once the request is configured, perform the call:

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