PerBonomi Nice feature. It should be there in lithium. But as of now, you can not send a message to anyone by someone else user id until that user is logged in.API to send the notes does not support the session key parameter. So you will get PM from an anonymous user when no one is logged in manually(Not API authentication) when API hits to send a PM.

PerBonomi -There is no bug in your endpoint code. This is a lithium bug if you will try this call via postman, it will work without any issue. However inside an endpoint user from is always returned as Anonymous. Below is the response I have got using postman.

This is indeed a problem, any chance of making this possible KhorosSFDC? If anybody else has the same issue, please upvote the idea here: https://community.lithium.com/t5/Product-Ideas/API-to-send-Private-Message-from-specific-author/idc-p/339119#M14606

interesting! thanks for the hint

PerBonomi Give it a shot with restadmin. It would work even in logged out case. In your case session id does not impact to anything. 1. You are passing the user login so it is posting by a normal user. I would work in the same way even you remove the session id. 2. It is posted by admin as you did not pass any user login/id.You can use this endpoint as well no need for any type of session generation, just need to pass the user id directly. <#assign escalatesubject = http.request.parameters.name.get("escalatesubject","Here is subject")> <#assign escalatebody = http.request.parameters.name.get("escalatesubject","Here is body")> <#assign userid = 100 /> <#assign addPost = restadmin("/boards/id/001/messages/post?message.subject=${escalatesubject?url}&message.body=${escalatebody?url}&message.author=/users/id/${userid}") />

Send PM from different user - problem

Hi everyone.

I created a new non-sso user

Using these instructions I generated a session key for that user

Created a test endpoint with this code:

<#assign session_key = rest("/authentication/sessions/login?user.login=<new user login>&user.password=<new user password>").value/>
<#assign result_send = restadmin("/postoffice/notes/send?notes.recipient=/users/id/<my id>&notes.subject=test&notes.note=test&restapi.session_key=<freshly generated session key>")/>

I then opened that endpoint in an incognito window

The PM I received was from "anonymous", not from the new user.

What am I doing wrong?
