Move user to the root organization unit

[David Rubert]

Hi,

I'm trying to move a user which was moved to an organizational unit back to the root org_unit_path, but I can't accomplish it.

I'm using this call of the API documentation:

http://code.google.com/intl/en-US/googleapps/domain/gdata_provisioning_api_v2.0_developers_protocol.html#Moving_Users_to_an_Organization_Unit

But I don't know which value needs the "parentOrgUnitPath" to move a user back to the root organization unit. I have tried with "", "/" (url-encoded) with no luck, I always obtain a 400 error:

AppsForYourDomainException: {'status': 400, 'body': 'Invalid request URI', 'reason': 'Bad Request'}

¿Any clues?

Hi David:

It's hard to tell what might be causing the 400 response without seeing the GData XML that you are posting. However, the path of the root org unit should be "/".

Can you share an example of the XXML you are posting?

Sorry... I meant "XML" :-)

[David Rubert]

Hi Michael, thanks for your response. I post an example of the XML I'm sending.

PUT https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/orgunit/2.0/<my-customer-id>/%2F

<?xml version=\'1.0\' encoding=\'UTF-8\'?>

  <ns0:entry xmlns:ns0="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006">

  <ns1:property name="usersToMove" value="us...@uji.es" />

  <ns1:property name="parentOrgUnitPath" value="/" />

</ns0:entry>'

The response obtained is:

{'status': 400, 'body': '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\r\n<AppsForYourDomainErrors>\r\n <error errorCode="1301" invalidInput="orgUnit" reason="EntityDoesNotExist" />\r\n
</AppsForYourDomainErrors>\r\n\r\n', 'reason': 'Bad Request'}

Thanks for your help.

Hi David,

To move an user to a different OU (including the root), you can follow the instructions at

http://code.google.com/googleapps/domain/gdata_provisioning_api_v2.0_developers_protocol.html#Updating_an_Organization_User

and send a PUT request to 

https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/orguser/2.0/the customerId/the organization user's email

with the following body:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<atom:entry xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:apps="http://schemas.google.com/apps/2006">

<apps:property name="oldOrgUnitPath" value="current OU" />

<apps:property name="orgUnitPath" value="new OU" />

</atom:entry>

If you want to move the user to the root, just specify "/" as "orgUnitPath".

Hope it helps

Claudio

It worked like a charm!

Thanks for the help.

While this solves the immediate problem, it does not explain how the usersToMove option should work.  Presumably, if we wish to move large numbers of users to the root OU, this would be the best approach.  However, I too can not get this too work.  Can we have either a documentation change or a bug report submitted?  Either usersToMove should be able to move users to the root OU and the code should work or change the documentation.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

So far it is only allowed to move 20 users by request but you can do a multi thread application that runs 20 requests per thread. :)
