EditUser, firstname and lastname

Ignition

All the information I find on EditUser are only using ContactInfo…

How do you edit the username, firstname and lastname ?

Hi @vipo, you can do it like this:

user = system.user.getUser('default', un)
user.set('firstName', fname)
user.set('lastName', lname)
err = system.user.editUser('default', user).getErrors()

Admittedly the docs for editUser are a bit lacking. I found the examples given in getNewUser more useful. The second example shows how to use the getNewUser system function and pass in the information to create the new user. Editing a user is similar, except you will be calling getUser and editUser.

@matthew.ayre thank you, I’ve been trying this several times… turned out to be a race condition for fetching the username.
Thanks.

Does the user.set() method for first and last name work when using system.user.getNewUser()?

Yes it does. Check out the user manual for more details and code snippets.
