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
when i use this all time have a permisions errors. Add i use SSO auth.
/restapi/vc/users/id/21405/profiles/name/aaaaaaa/set?restapi.response_format=json&restapi.session_key=ohL0ZHOrTRRrnbJ2HbJtR1R9kPOjybIqYsrhYQTjLy0.&value=aaaaaaa

You can not use restadmin over HTTP calls .
if you have access to the studio. You can create an endpoint for this . Inside the endpoint, you can use restadmin call , this will bypass the permission issue.
You can refer these links for endpoints

Give kudos if you find my posts helpful or mark solution if it answers your query
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.
