Creating Users with Native API

[jipianu_mihnea_1277]

I want to use the Native API to create users and groups, but I do not know how to generate the password because I am unaware of the hashing algorithm used. Also, when using Users_CreateOrUpdateUser, I do not know the schema for Groups_Xml. Thank you.

Hi @jipianu_mihnea_1277,

We don't document but if @steviecoaster recently ffigured this out and published a pretty cool library: https://github.com/steviecoaster/InedoOps

It may do what you already need, so I'd check that out!

But if not you should be able to find the answers in
https://github.com/steviecoaster/InedoOps/blob/main/source/public/Security/Users/Set-ProGetUserPassword.ps1

As a note, the Users_CreateOrUpdateUser is ust a stored procedure, so you could also peek at the code to see what it's doing behind the scenes. Groups is just <groups><group>A</group></groups>

Thanks for the shout-out @atripp! Yes, you can do Set-ProGetUserPassword -Credential (Get-Credential) and supply the username of the account you with to set the password, as well as the new password.

The New-ProGetUser function will do this internally for you when you pass in the credential object that function expects.

If you run into trouble, please do file an issue so I can try to fix it!
