API ability to control Feed Access
-
I'm looking to automate the setup and configuration of ProGet as much as I can. I've found the API to be really good so far, and Ive been able to automate 90% of the things that I require (I build a lot of repository instances). One thing that is super important to me is configuring Read-Only access to the feed to a particular user account, and configuring a Chocolatey client to use that credential to authenticate to the source.
There doesn't seem to be an API endpoint exposed to be able to configure local accounts programmatically. I know it's a non-trivial ask, but, could we get one?

Hi @steviecoaster ,
I agree it'd be nice, but it's also not trivial as you noticed. I believe it's possible to configure security with the Native API, but obviously not as easy. So I would explore that, it's probably close to what you wnat.
A first-class Built-in Users/Groups API has been requested over the years (and is now something that makes sense with
pgutil) - however if we made it, the API would be paid-editions only. We haven't had any interest from paid users in such a feature, as they generally use LDAP or don't mind non-API configuration.-- Dean

Do you have documentation/guidance on that? Whilst I'm a fan of DevTools in a browser and bending things to my will, I'd much more a fan of using documented non-hacky processes, particularly when I'm going to be potentially work in a customer environment.
This conversation may be best served taken off the forum and into more direct communications. There's a method to my madness here, and it doesn't really have any reason to be hashed out here publicly.

Hi @steviecoaster,
The Native API isn't hacky, just harder to used. Here is the documentation on the Native API:
https://docs.inedo.com/docs/proget/reference-api/proget-api-http#native-api-endpointsWe don't have any articles/guidance on how to call the Native API beyond what's there.
The
Users_*procs have not changed in years and are very safe to use. There are a few forums posts here and there with "hints" on work with theUser_procs, like this:

@dean-houston thanks for that info! I think that'll do nicely. I'll have to play around with it to be sure, but from what I can tell it looks straightforward to implement. Thank you!
