Session Token to access User table

[Aeneas McBurney]

Hi,

Is there a admin session token that I can read the user table without a user being logged in? I need to create a "forgot login details" function and read the users email from the table to resend login details.

Thanks,
Aeneas

Hi Arina, that topic is very useful however I wanted to approach it slightly different in that I want to check the registered email is in the users table and if it exists email them their details. How do I check an email exists in the user table without a session token? Can I use the master key?

Thanks,
Aeneas

Hi Aeneas,

Yes, you can use master key.

Please follow these steps:

1 Open your getUser service.

2 Navigate to the "Response" tab.

3 Add "X-Appery-Master-Key" request parameter. http://prntscr.com/44qut5/direct

4 Now you can populate this request parameter and query users collection in accordance to your needs without sessionToken.

Hi, where do you create the getUser service because my app needs to perform a similar function.

I tried create a rest service and called it getUser, but I am not sure what to put for the url in the getUser rest service setting.

Thanks,

Hi Jennifer,

Here is brief plan:

1 Create "getUser" REST service. http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...

2 Navigate to Settings tab and populate it like on screen shot:

pre

URL: https://api.appery.io/rest/1/db/users/{userId}

/pre

3 Navigate Request Tab and set following parameters:

pre

userId
X-Appery-Database-Id = {database_id}
X-Appery-Session-Token

/pre

http://prntscr.com/3y5fws/direct

That's all.

Regards.
