POST

The POST method allows to create or update a User and as well set permissions. Setting permissions on an Office can be done directly or via adding people to member lists.

This method can only be called as a Webmaster.

POST  https://projecten.viadesk.com/api/user.json
form field “email” // required
form field “lastname” // required
form field “fid” // foreign id, optional (see 1)
form field “invite” // boolean, default is true, optional (see 2)
form field “memberlist” // pointer, optional (see 3)
form field “officepermission” // string, optional (see 4)

• A foreign id can be provided by the caller, it will be used to identify the user before taking the email parameter. Using a fid will allow you to later change the email for a user. This is otherwise not possible to do via the API.

• You can provide an officepermission form field with a format id-permission (e.g. 623-read) for each of the offices that you want to add the user to. Allowed permissions are “read”, “add”, “edit”, “manage”. The id is in this case not the entire pointer of the office but only the “number” part.
