Updating User Info

[Nader Chmait]

Hi, 

I was able to create a new user using SmartAPI and now I want to edit the information; for example, changing the username.  I don't know how best to go about it.  I tried using the Commit() function, but it kept throwing an error saying object reference not set to an instance of an object.  Please let me know what the best way to update a user would be.

Thanks!

Hi,

 

it would be helpful, if you could provide the code snippet that triggers the exception and the stacktrace of the exception itself.

In general you should be able to do something like this:

 

var user = session.ServerManager.Users[“myuser”];

user.Name = “youruser”;

user.Commit();

 

Cheers,

Jonas

Hi,

I've attached the screenshot of my code and of the runtime error.  Like it says in the screenshot, i realized that deadUser.LanguageOfUserInterface.LanguageAbbreviation and deadUser.NavigationType are both null, but they are read-only properties of the Commit() function.  I think they might be causing the problem, but I'm not sure.  Please let me know if you have an idea.

Thanks again!

Hi,

I'm sorry for the late answer.

Could you please try to set the LanguageOfUserInterface before the commit, e.g.

deadUser.LanguageOfUserInterface = session.DialogLocales.First()

Cheers

Jonas
