[one-users] RPC client: how to determine my user id?

[Carsten.Friedrich at csiro.au]

Groups and permissions would be fantastic. Especially regarding image management I have a very current need for this!

Looking forward to it.

Carsten

Hi Carsten,

You are right, there are some operations that require the user ID and only oneadmin can know it.
For now, those operations will remain only accessible to oneadmin. In the short term, we want to improve the overall user management (to add groups and, maybe, permissions) and we'll address this issue at that moment.

Thanks and regards,
Carlos.

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the reply. Using -1 or -2 and then filtering on the client side based on the username works for one.userpool.info<http://one.userpool.info>. (Still wouldn't work for one.user.passwd however).

Thanks,
Carsten

Hi Carsten,

You can use instead the -1 filter flag [1].

The user ID is intended for administrators. Authorized users like 'oneadmin' can perform a one.userpool.info<http://one.userpool.info> call and look for the ID of a given name.

Regards,
Carlos.

Over RPC, how do I find out what my user id is; e.g. for use in other calls such as one.imagepool.info<http://one.imagepool.info> .

Thanks,
Carsten
