The repository service to manage Persons (users) :wink:

I think you need to add some informations to be able to help you: What data you entered for example => the user login for instance ??

So you probably want to write a web script which takes your POST data and then uses either the Java Script or Java API.

Take a look at the existing scripts e.g. /api/people which create users as a starting point.

Mrogers,
Thanks for your reply. Yes what I want to do is to get the post data to the alfresco user store. I have tried looking for the script but I'm not able to find it. Please paste the full path for /api/people and any more information on starting up will be appreciates

You will have to read for yourself how to do this. In the wiki, look for "Web Scripts" and "Javascript API" (that's two different sets of pages). The web script is the piece that responds to the form submit, and carries out the action. The Javascript code that you execute inside the web script will actually create the person node with those attributes.

The file contentModel.xml in your Alfresco installation gives the properties for cmerson that you will need to set in the person node once you have created it.

Look up the Javascript API on the Alfresco wiki. There are Javascript functions that manage the person nodes.

Hi

I have a query regarding custom attributes to a alfresco user.
As alfresco has provision to create own custom meta-data by creating customModel. In similar way, Is there any provision to have custom attributes to a user while creating it thru admin console?
