Archive User does not work

[holger-maker]

Hi,
now, I try to archive users script-controlled with example 18 (on windows PC - other api commands work).

However the command

usersApi.patch_user(user['userid'], body={'action': 'archive'})

produces an error:

ApiException: (400)
Reason: Bad Request ... HTTP response body: b'{"code":400,"message":"Invalid action parameter.","description":""}'

Is it possible to archive a user from a team script controlled?

Thx for your help

Hi. It is possible. Try the following:

usersApi.patch_user(user['userid'], body={"action": "patchuser2team", "team": <target team ID>, "target": "is_archived", "content": 1})
# Use the correct team ID in integer in "team". E.g., "team": 1
# You can use single quote if you want ofc.

To unarchive just flip the content value to 0. I just tested this with elAPI which seems to have worked.

elapi patch users -i 2538 --data '{"action": "patchuser2team", "team": 1, "target": "is_archived", "content": 1}'

Archiving is now a per-team attribute, so maybe this needs to be documented in the spec.

Thank you very much for your helpful tip. Now it worked.
It would be good, if the examples could be updated; it took longtime to find the solution.

Good point. I made a PR #51.
