Creating Change requests from csv

[shaktinayak]

Hello,

We have a CSV feed, which contains users, their accounts and Roles that needs to be assigned  for an application.

The requirement is to read the file and create change requests for these users and assign the roles to the user accounts.

This has to be done by considering the csv input file.

Is there any approach to achieve this.

Regards

Though you cannot fully do this by the product, you can use any custom scripting to read the changes from the CSV then use the Web Services to submit these as change requests to our product.

You could potentially use a bash/shell script to do this from the localhost, but there are various other ways to do so.

Yes, i was thinking of using rsa webservices to do this. can you elaborate on the bash/shell script that could help do the same.

the "createchangerequest" method, do you have any sample request , i would like to see how it works. I need an example of the request body.

You can check the following KBs for examples of triggering the Web Services using different methods:

• Browser Extensions: https://community.rsa.com/docs/DOC-45882
• Curl (shell scripts): https://community.rsa.com/docs/DOC-45655

As for the complete description (with examples) of the createChangeRequest webservice, you can find that under Admin > Web Services > createChangeRequest. There are detailed examples of each action you can perform using this web service.
