Introduction

The User endpoint allows you to manage the users in Open-AudIT.

How Does it Work?

 

Creating a User Entry

A user entry can be created using the web interface if the current user logged in has a role that contains the user::create permission. Go to menu: Manage -> Users -> Create Users. Also can be created from the Users View, using the "Create" button.

To add a new user to Open-AudIT you have to provide the details of that person, assign the organization, select the relevant Roles (multiple roles can be selected), select if the user is active or not, etc. In addition, you must grand permission to that user to access one or more organisations. It is important to notice that selecting a parent organization will automatically provide access to its children.

 

 

View Users Details

Go to menu: Manage-> Users -> List Users.

You will see a list of users. You can view a user by clicking on the blue view icon. You can also edit or delete users.

 

 

Database Schema

The schema for the database is below. It can also be found in the application if the user has database::read permission by going to menu: Manage -> Database -> List, then clicking on the "users" table.

CREATE TABLE `users` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  `org_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
  `password` varchar(250) NOT NULL,
  `full_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `email` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
  `roles` text NOT NULL,
  `orgs` text NOT NULL,
  `lang` enum('de','en','es','fr','pt-br') NOT NULL DEFAULT 'en',
  `active` varchar(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'y',
  `ldap` text NOT NULL,
  `edited_by` varchar(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `edited_date` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '2000-01-01 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `user_id_index` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=5 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

A typical entry looks as below.

         id: 1
       name: admin
     org_id: 1
   password: 0ab0a153e5bbcd80c50a02da8c97f3c87686eb8512f5457d30e328d2d4448c8968e9f4875c2eb61356197b851dd33f90658b20b32139233b217be54d903ca3b6
  full_name: Administrator
      email: admin@openaudit
      roles: ["admin","org_admin"]
       orgs: [1]
       lang: en
     active: y
       ldap: 
  edited_by: 
edited_date: 2000-01-01 00:00:00

API / Web Access

You can access the /summaries collection using the normal Open-AudIT JSON based API. Just like any other collection. Please see the API documentation for further details.

Access is provided as part of a roles permissions. Summaries is a standard resource and can have create, read, update and delete permissions.

The API routes below are usable from both a JSON Restful API and the web interface. The Web application routes are specifically designed to be called from the web interface (a browser).
