disable account?

[ryanbobko]

Hey Folks,
I'm trying to disable an account via …/alfresco/service/api/people/{userName}. I'm sending in a json object like this:

{"disableAccount": true }‍

using the admin account, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

How can I troubleshoot this? The javascript debugger doesn't seem to work with this webscript.

Also, is there a way to tell what format the json object should have? For example, I just looked at the
…/alfresco/service/script/org/alfresco/repository/person/person.put page and made a json object that conforms.

Thanks All,

New information: Looks like I can't create a user by POSTing to …/alfresco/service/api/people, either. I get the admin account in return instead of the new user (who isn't created, anyway).

Does anyone have sample code for creating a new user using javascript webservice api?

For your first question check that you are setting the mimetype of your PUT request.  It should work.     You also need to have "admin" authority.

What error messages do you get?

Followup: Looks like it worked. The step I was missing was sending "Content-Type: application/json" in the headers.
