Trying to make good on a promise, and I am working on an app to create new users.
I have successfully made an Epicor Function to create the user and add a company and sites to the user. That part works fine.
Last step is to enable that user. Why is this so hard?
In the EAC wizard, it’s a simple checkbox.
In the client, it’s a button that asks what email and then it emails the temp password (I don’t think the EAC does this).
What am I missing?
I tried setting all this:
And then in the middle there’s a method for AllowBlankPassword, which I threw in there also (it returns false).
So… do I also need to generate a temp password?
I feel like there should be a whole method for enabling a user and I am missing it.
I’m also surprised to not find anything on this site yet.

Did you try assigning UserDisabled = false and then calling the update method? 
And in User Account Security, the user was still disabled?

Yes.
I mean when Postman says “Something went wrong,” I don’t expect it to have worked lol.
Maybe I should have started there. But it’s not much of an error.

Can you make your callm in SWAGGER?
What does your call look like in REST / JSON
Anything in the Event Log?

Here’s a trace in the DMT, which works and does not send an email (a la the EAC):
Right. It’s just setting UserDisabled to false. The UI’s also call ResetPassword just to be friendly.
Are you setting the RowMod to “U”?
And I see the PwdChangeRequstOn date there too. Setting that?

Yes, I tried that in UserFile, UserComp, both and neither.
Oddly, the trace only shows it set in UserComp – why? UserFile holds the field!
This guy?
Functions don’t seem to load there.
Maybe you mean just calling the Update method here, without a Function?
I’d try without the function first. This guy:

I patched https://host/server/api/v2/odata/COMP/Ice.BO.UserFileSvc/UserFiles(‘wcambell’) with just below and it works fine
{
"UserDisabled": false,
"RowMod": "U"
}
Does PATCH use UpdateExt?
OMG. Josh is showing widgets to Jason who posted code.
