Help understanding the 11.1.7 REST API call "/users"

  • 1.  Help understanding the 11.1.7 REST API call "/users"

    Posted Thu May 27, 2021 08:43 AM
    I am trying to retrieve information on a user from the 11.1.7 REST API call /users and not getting anything returned.  The documentation tells me to use the parameter "identifier", which I assume is included in the URL like:

    .../users?identifier="xxx"

    That always gets me a 404 no matter what I have tried as a value.  If I leave off that parameter I get a 400 with a response of "must not be null" so I am pretty sure that the syntax is right?  But what value should I put in there?

    My goal is to get the ID of a user so I can add them to a group.  All I have is the user name, so I need to get their ID to pass along to the other web service endpoints.  

    Thanks!
