Update User Profile Setting & Preferences In Custom Plugin

Hi,

We have a requirement to update the user profile data, preference etc from the custom plugin component. Is is possible to achieve this ? Also what is the best practice to get this done; should I user Rest API vs LIQL.

    Hi vedagarw,

     

    I think APIv1 is a good point to start. You can use the profiles resource to set values, e.g.:

     

    <#assign response = restadmin("/users/id/${user_id?c}/profiles/name/<PROFILE_NAME>/set?value=<YOUR_VALUE>") />

    You can determine the profile name values using APIv1, too.

     

    Best regards,

    Christian

      Using this I can update only couple of fields. I need to update all the settings and preferences for the user. Is there an API which would more wider set of fields to play with.

        donpacote - If you're making this request through your browser window, the call fails because there are some API restrictions on such calls. You have to use the restadmin keyword to make such calls.
