IMetabaseUser.UserAccountType

Syntax

UserAccountType: MetabaseUserAccountType;

Description

The UserAccountType property determines a user type.

Comments

By default, regular users are created with the Ordinal type. Changing user type from Ordinal to Service is available only once; reverse change is unavailable. To change the type from Ordinal to Service or to create a user with the Service type, built-in authorization should be enabled in the repository.

When the Service type is set for the user:

The existing password will be reset, the new password cannot be set.
The password that never expires cannot be set.
Password authorization using such user is not supported.

The user with the Service type can be used to save as a technological account during authentication via external services.

Example

Executing the example requires built-in authorization to be enabled in the repository.

Add a link to the Metabase system assembly.

Sub CreateServiceUserExample;
Var
    MB: IMetabase;
    MS: IMetabaseSecurity;
    User: IMetabaseUser;
    Lic: Object;
Begin
    MB := MetabaseClass.Active;
    // Get license to be able to work with the security manager
    Lic := MB.RequestLicense(UiLicenseFeatureType.Adm);
    MS := MB.Security;
    // Create a new user
    User := MS.AddUser("SERVICE_USER");
    // Specify user type - Service
    User.UserAccountType := MetabaseUserAccountType.Service;
    // Save changes
    MS.Apply;
    // Check in license
    Lic := Null;
End Sub CreateServiceUserExample;

After executing the example a service user is created in the repository.
