Detailed steps

Get the user entity by name

...

To get a cloud admin user from whichever enterprise they are currently in, run the get request with a wildcard for all enterprises represented by the underscore character "_". 

...

If you know the ID of the user, you can retrieve the user entity directly with the users link.
For example, the cloud admin user has an ID of 1, and the link as "https://example.com/api/admin/enterprises/_/users/1"

Or use the "has" parameter to perform a search for the user by text such as username, name, or details

curl -X GET \
  'https://example.com/api/admin/enterprises/_/users?has=cloudadmin' \
  -H 'Accept: application/vnd.abiquo.users+json;version=4.7' \

This request returns a collection of users, so find the required user

Detailed steps

1. Get the user entity by name

   • To get an administrator from the enterprise they are currently working in, without knowing the enterprise ID, use a URL with a wildcard for all enterprises, which is the underscore character "_". 

   • If you know the ID of the user, you can retrieve the user entity directly with the users link.
     For example, the cloud admin user has an ID of 1, so the link would be: "https://example.com/api/admin/enterprises/_/users/1"

   • Or use the "has" parameter to perform a search for the user by text such as username, name, or details

     Code Block
     curl -X GET \ 'https://example.com/api/admin/enterprises/_/users?has=cloudadmin' \ -H 'Accept: application/vnd.abiquo.users+json;version=4.7' \ -u admin:xabiquo k --verbose | jq .

     
     

   • This request returns a collection of users. Keep the required user entity, which starts with the braces before its ID
