How to list groups and their members in specific directory via RestAPI?

[tiendungitd]

Hi everyone,

How do I get a list of all group and their members in specific directory in crowd? I just want to see a display name of user/group. Also a user status, I want to get only users are activating.

For example

• Group A:
  • User1
  • User2
  • ...
• Group B

I reading Crowd REST API document, but it not mention about Crowd directory, any idea?

Thanks.

Hello @tiendungitd

The Crowd REST API is built to be accessed by Applications and thus you can fetch details of users which are part of application-directory mapping i.e. your application must be mapped to the directory whose users you want to fetch. You can also create a dummy application for this purpose.

From the docs

This set of REST APIs is intended to be used by applications connecting to Crowd.

I'm using the command below to fetch user membership

curl -u user:pass http://localhost:8095/crowd/rest/usermanagement/latest/group/membership

But it get all users/groups in all Crowd Directories, my expect is only get from one Directory.

That's happening because the username:password you are using belong to an application that is mapped to all directories.

Thanks Tarun, now I got your idea. I just added new Generic Application with application url is a current crowd url, now I can get user information in Directory which mapping to the new Application.

Do you know how to list all group?

Yes, it's easy

please go through the docs here

Hello @Moses Thomas

I think you have mis-read the question as it's about "Crowd Rest API" but the link shared by you is for the "Cloud API"
