Configure profile of user
Question asked by Steffan Nicholson - 9/28/2020 at 10:26 AM
Answered
Is there a way for a domain administrator to set up the profile of a new user (or update the profile of an existing user) without having to login as the user?

When seat holders change it is a real pain to update a whole bunch of records and yet the users cannot be counted on to complete the task so variable based signatures become unreliable.

You can use API and create a script that do that

I am also interested in doing this. It is time consuming to manually add and update the user profile information and I am looking for solutions.

I have browsed through the API documentation but I do not see anything relating to getting/updating user profile information. 

If there is a way to use the API or Active Directory to update this, I would be interested to know more about it.

Hello Robert, 

SmarterMail is API driven, Anything that can be done in the web interface can be done from the API. 


In this case, if you are making changes to a users settings you will need to Auth as a system admin and impersonate the account ( Through API ) then make your changes. Here are the user settings calls that you will be using


You can see some examples here ( https://portal.smartertools.com/community/a94587/powershell.aspx#135317 ) on setting up the authentication and impersonating an account. 

Please let me know if you have any more question on doing this. 

Thank you
Tony
