How can we improve the SMA?

← KACE Systems Management Appliance (SMA)

Broaden the scope of the User API

I would like to see more actions available to the users endpoint of the API. The ability to create, modify, delete, and audit logons for user accounts.

One use case - in an LDAP scenario, you might want to trim thousands of old users who lo longer exist in the LDAP environment (university)

Another use case - you want a user with necessary permissions to retrieve a user ID from the API in order to submit a ticket as that other user.

    For anyone following this, in version 12.1, you can now get users:

    GET /api/users/users

    Kace has yet to update the API documentation, but it works for me.

    If we were able to use the API to just at least get all users, with the following attributes, I think the overall usefulness of the API would increase significantly:

    - owner_id
    - user_name
    - email
    - full_name

    These are the attributes that are returned for user fields when you get an asset. WIthout being able to identify a user's owner_id, how can you assign them to an asset?
