Ability to adjust attributes of users via REST API such as the tenant-id

With use of the REST API we create users in our multi tenant environment to automate the onboarding of new customers and new users.

While doing this we would like to assign a user directly to the correct tenant. We experience that adding the tenantID directly at the moment we add the user seems not to be possible. The attribute "tenantID" is not accepted. We also tried to modify the user we just created but then the attribute "tenantID" isn't accepted as well. Doing so will give you an error like: The update option "updateTenantIDRecursive" has to be set to True.


Adding a user (during this stage the extra attribute isn't accepted. The command will fail:

curl -X POST "https://server:9300/api/v1/users?namespace=acc" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-XSRF-Token: mcbIPfwzsyPxxX6f1Kwuo9ebZNA5WlXL" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d "{ \"defaultName\": \"User 1\", \"identity\": \"user1@test.nl\"}"


Then, we tried to modify the user that has been created:

curl -X PUT "https://server:9300/api/v1/users/xTVNQLkFDQzp1OmdlYnJ1aWtlcjJAdGVzdC5ubA__" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-XSRF-Token: mcbIPfwzsyPxxX6f1Kwuo9ebZNA5WlXL" -H "Cache-Control: no-cache" -d "{ \"tenantID\": \"CU2\" }"


Response:

{

"severity": "error",

"messages": [

"CM-REQ-4396 De updateOption \"updateTenantIDRecursive\" moet op waar zijn ingesteld om de eigenschap tenantID te kunnen bijwerken."

],

"errorCode": "cmUpdateTenantIDRecursive"

}

Case TS010255014 gave us the outcome that this isnt' possible at the moment.
