Examples

The example calls assume you are in the directory where you installed the tools. If you are not you can prepemd the directory to the filename, for example /opt/pyviyatools/callrestapi.py If you are using the tool on windows the syntax is:

python toolname.py

The following examples are Linux.

loginviauathinfo.py

# Login to Viya using default authinfo file ~/.authinfo  
./loginviauthinfo.py

# Login to Viya using an authinfo file  
./loginviauthinfo.py -f ~/.authinfo_geladm

callrestapi.py

#return all the rest calls that can be made to the folders endpoint  
./callrestapi.py -e /folders -m get  

#return the json for all the folders/folders  
./callrestapi.py -e /folders/folders -m get  

#return simple text for all the folders/folders  
./callrestapi.py -e /folders/folders -m get -o simple 

#rest calls often limit the results returned the text output will tell you returned and total available items   
#in this call set a limit above the total items to see everything  
./callrestapi.py -e /folders/folders?limit=500 -m get -o simple  


#return the json for all the identities  
./callrestapi.py -e /identities/identities -m get    

#return the json for all the identities output to a file  
./callrestapi.py -e /identities/identities -m get > identities.json    

#refresh the identities cache  
./callrestapi.py -e /identities/userCount -m get    
./callrestapi.py -e /identities/cache/refreshes -m post

#return basic content using accept response type    
./callrestapi.py -m get -e /identities/users/sasadm -a "application/vnd.sas.identity.basic+json"

getfolderid.py

# pass the folder path and return the folder id and uri  
./getfolderid.py -f /gelcontent  

getruleid.py

getruleid.py -u /SASVisualAnalytics/** -p "authenticatedUsers" 

deletefolder.py

# delete a folder based on its path   
./deletefolder.py -f /gelcontent  

getconfigurationproperties.py

#return a set of configuration properties  
./getconfigurationproperties.py -c sas.identities.providers.ldap.user -o simple  

createdomain.py and updatedomain.py

#create a domain using createdomain  
./createdomain.py -t password -d test -u sasadm -p lnxsas -g "SASAdministrators,HR ,Sales" 

#Update an existing domain to add credentials from a csv file   
./updatedomain.py -d LASRAuth -f /tmp/myusers.csv 

csv file format  
no header row  
column1 is userid  
column2 is password  
column3 is identity    
column4 is identity type (user or group)  

For example:  
myuserid,mypass,Sales,group   
acct1,pw1,sasadm,user  

#create a domain using callrestapi. Last part of endpoint is domain name
./callrestapi.py -e /credentials/domains/<newdomain> -m post -i domain.json  

INPUT JSON must be formatted as the endpoint expects. Example:  

{   
  "id": "<newdomain>",  
  "type": "password"  
}  

testfolderaccess.py

./explainaccess.py -u /SASEnvironmentManager/dashboard --header -l read update delete secure add remove create

./explainaccess.py -u /reports/reports/id --header -l read update delete secure

#Explain direct and indirect permissions on a folder expressed as a URI. Keep the default permissions list, but for completeness we must also specify -c true to request conveyed permissions be displayed, as they are not displayed by default for URIs.
